Workflow
To truly drive sustainable healthcare innovation, digital health leader Mahmood Adil says health systems must rethink business models and expand how they use data, especially regarding social determinants of health.
The Digital Medicine Society said its three-part artificial intelligence guide for hospitals and health systems is designed to help with planning, sourcing and scaling health AI technologies to protect resources and deliver system-level ROI.
Epic with Louisiana providers will enable MyChart access for all of its 2.5 million patients in the state, while athenahealth and WellSky invested in administrative artificial intelligence for home health clinicians and practice claims staff.
The health system achieved 100% adoption of an AI platform that consolidates multiple sources of clinical information into one easy-to-access mobile app. Clinician satisfaction with data access increased from 22% to 84%.
The report should be a reality check, says Dr. Tim O'Connell, CEO of NLP company emtelligent. He digs into the new study, discusses genAI hurdles (and ways to jump them) and highlights the gap between real back office gains and "visibility spending."
Dr. Steve Buslovich, chief medical officer of senior care at PointClickCare, explains how technology can improve both the care delivery experience, for both clinicians and patients.
According to Frost & Sullivan's Reenita Das, digital startups often fail by focusing on technology and AI rather than solving clinicians' pain points and reducing friction to genuinely improve care.
By bringing nurse stakeholders to the table, the company seeks insights that can help it build better artificial intelligence tools that work more seamlessly across electronic health record workflows.
Success Stories & ROI
Deploying a central-fill Rx model for its 21 hospitals has dramatically reduced technician hours – and the risk of medication errors. Automation gains have also enabled the health system to reopen a long-closed hospital in an underserved area.
According to Hyland Healthcare's Michael Burke, strategic vendor partnerships, data orchestration and standards can help hospitals ensure that patient records are accessible, accurate and ready for AI-enabled healthcare delivery.
