Artificial Intelligence

A surgeon at OrthoCarolina tells the story of implementation of just such a system at his practice, integrated with their Epic EHR – and points the way where artificial intelligence can help, not replace, professional coders.

The California Nurses Association recently organized a San Francisco protest aimed at Kaiser Permanente, saying its use of artificial intelligence in patient care is a dangerous shortcut. One new report offers perspective that could build nurses' trust.

At NYU Langone Health, physicians record videos with post-hospital care plans for patients to help improve treatment compliance. Dr. Jonah Feldman, the health system's medical director for clinical transformation and informatics, explains.  

Also, Reperio Health partners with Uber to bring preventive care screening kits to homes and workplaces.

The U.K.'s National Health Service is testing an artificial intelligence platform that leverages clinical guidelines to find undiagnosed and misdiagnosed cancer patients with cachexia, says Dr. Vibhor Gupta, director and founder of Pangaea Data.

That could completely change the landscape for perinatal care and greatly improve outcomes, says the director of obstetric imaging at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, especially in settings where this was not previously possible.

Best practices for integrating AI into your technology infrastructure.

Health systems have reduced patient falls and increased sepsis recovery rate by using AvaSure's virtual nursing platform to assist on-site RNs, says Adam McMullin, the company's CEO.

In season 2, episode 5 of "Unlocking Big Data," sponsored by Arcadia, John Halamka, president, Mayo Clinic Platform, and Arcadia president and CEO Michael Meucci, talk about AI use cases that improve clinicians’ efficiency and job satisfaction.

The healthcare industry must simultaneously guard against technology outpacing its practical uses, says one physician and CIO.
