Artificial Intelligence

Collaboration among health systems, vendors and regulators is critical to help guide the development and use of artificial intelligence in healthcare, says Dr. Brian Anderson, chief digital health physician at MITRE.

As it works to safeguard existing cybersecurity protocols from easy decryption by a future quantum computer, the agency is requesting feedback on standards for three algorithms designed to withstand quantum-powered cyberattacks.

This is the hospital’s fourth HIMSS digital maturity model accreditation.

Also, Philips APAC has a new managing director.

Also, Genea runs an integrated surgery management system powered by Clintel's CareRight.

"Nurses cannot be everywhere at once," says one expert in video monitoring, who sees promise in "watching AI" helping overworked RNs track patterns in hospital patients over longer periods of time to gain insights into their health trajectory.

At the HIMSS Healthcare Cybersecurity Forum, AHA cyber risk advisor John Riggi said health systems need to prepare now for clinical and operational contingencies as high-impact ransomware attacks increase.

Going forward, healthcare needs to be predictive, preventative, personalized and participatory – and technology can meet those goals.

Health systems today are looking at deploying emerging technologies like the metaverse and ChatGPT, but putting them to good use may be challenging, says Aster DM Healthcare Group CIO Veneeth Purushotaman.

"It remains a challenge to translate increased awareness into effective cybersecurity strategies that protect people and data," said a Proofpoint leader about new research comparing the POVs board directors and CISOs.
