Artificial Intelligence

Healthcare artificial intelligence strategy at hospitals and health systems is a big challenge as the AI market and tech explode around providers. Dr. Hojjat Salmasian, CDAO and leader of AI at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, has answers.

Also, St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne has digitised and automated its pathology workflows.

It is funding six universities to offer specialised courses on AI in healthcare.

The new chatbot at Singapore General Hospital was also projected to save around 60 senior doctor hours annually.

The new event, scheduled for Sept. 18-19 in Chicago, will focus on high-level insights for the C-suite. HIMSSCast will be simulcasting from the show with the Straight Outta Health IT podcast, whose host Christopher Kunney joins us for a preview.

The collaboration aims to create AI agents that can analyze and act on unified health records and social data to improve access, streamline care coordination, and boost staff and patient engagement. 

"Nurses want help from AI but they don't want it to do their job," says Kenrick Cato, nurse scientist, pediatric data and analytics, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia—who also discusses the need to not repeat the mistakes of EHRs when deploying.

Also, Pakistani nursing institutes have adopted AI to boost training.

Also, Hoan My, a private hospital group in Vietnam, has implemented a network-wide EMR system.

The reimagined ambulatory electronic health record system is designed to offer artificial intelligence capabilities that help with data-driven clinical decision support and reduce burdensome documentation, the company says.
