Kirk Czonstka, SVP of strategic alliances for Garner Health, explains that the right data can improve how healthcare costs are controlled by giving insights into quality care at the lowest price.

Ambient AI is helping to restore how clinicians connect with patients at the point of care and it's also reducing their after-hours documentation burden, according to Julie Frey, Wolters Kluwer VP of provider product.

Theresa McDonnell, DNP, RN, is leading the way with innovative, tech-focused workplace safety and anti-burnout efforts. "Compassion is what connects technology to purpose and people to progress," she says.

More than half of nurses say they experience burnout most days, a new survey shows, with 61% planning to change jobs or departments, seek a hybrid position, work as travelers or make other career changes.

When healthcare practices support reliable digital engagement tools, patients can better access and comply with care.

Despite years of investment, many hospitals remain digitally fragmented. A command centre approach offers a practical way forward, integrating data and decision-making in real time to enhance operational and surgical performance – and patient care.

Tjasa Zajc, special advisor for content at HIMSS, offers a "recipe" for AI-enabled care – from data governance to pilot projects – ahead of the conference, which is set to take place in Paris from 10-12 June.

The Oregon health system's coder workload has been reduced by nearly 28%, while coding-related denials for autonomously coded radiology cases are now 70% lower than those managed manually. The automated denial rate is also substantially lower.

Before implementing AI tools, leaders must ensure data flows freely between their EHR and practice management systems, and that they know how the tool will fit into existing procedures, says Matt Murren, CEO of True North ITG.

Providers deal with integration issues and regulation difficulties in implementing AI and data analytics, says Tan Bin Ru, president of Enterprise Digital at ST Engineering.
