Dr. Tejaswi Kompala, head of cardiometabolic clinical strategy at Teladoc Health, says too many people are overburdened by the needs associated with managing their chronic conditions – but that artificial intelligence could help in several ways.

The convergence of physician shortages, efficient use of hospital beds and hybrid working models contributes to the growth of inpatient telemedicine. The health system's programs address critical constraints and boost patient outcomes.

For one clinic with Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation, using this technology has promoted better functional outcomes, patient compliance and increased attendance rates. Gross revenue per visit is up 4.3%.

As new artificial intelligence tools are introduced, the greater efficiency and accuracy achieved using AI will increasingly justify the costs and effort to take on digital pathology practice, says Dr. David Klimstra, cofounder of Paige.

The chair of clinical pharmacy practice details how the organization got, for example, racial/ethnic minorities receiving chemotherapy two times higher likelihood in reporting pain compared with non-Hispanic whites.

The accountable care organization has achieved a 10% improvement in quality gap closure, a key measure of network performance that will deliver $1 million in potential incentive payments.

Consultant Matt Wolf says that, despite telehealth staying in the spotlight since the pandemic, it faces some setbacks that could limit lasting success. Incentivizing better patient outcomes could help virtual care make more economic sense.

David Heaney, chief information security officer at Mass General Brigham, explains how genAI can help his team learn and protect. He also discusses best practices for securing data with – and against – AI.

Understanding the threat environment, knowing where controls are deployed and other core competencies become that much more critical when artificial intelligence is involved, says the CISO of Mass General Brigham.

Inspired by her mother's healthcare struggles, Dr. Kate Sowerwine now serves as chief medical officer of a virtual care company and advocates for more widespread use of the technologies to improve patient outcomes.
