At HIMSS24 APAC, Mayo Clinic data scientist Dr Alexander Ryu will share best practices in evaluating digital solutions, including AI, for potential integration into clinical practice.

A new automated patient-messaging link with electronic health records is designed to help community health centers address uncontrolled diabetes without increasing the workload of overburdened staff. 

Many healthcare providers are missing opportunities by believing digital transformation isn't for them. But with cost and margin pressures rising, health systems should reevaluate the long-term value proposition, one consultant says.

The health system has invested in automating documentation, but AI chief tells WSJ he's not comfortable using AI for clinical decision-making.

Greg LeGrow, executive director of payer product market strategy at athenahealth and Mark Fleming, senior director of product at Availity, credited FHIR interoperability for greater efficiency in automating the electronic PA process.

The virtual specialty-care company has embarked on many collaborations and alliances since launching in 2020, and cofounder and CEO Tom Stanis says that has helped ensure its longevity in a volatile digital health market.

Undertaking the HIMSS assessments has been key in convincing clinicians at Kauvery Hospital to adopt digital technologies, says founder Dr Manivannan Selvaraj.
