Dave Vennergrund, GDIT vice president of artificial intelligence and data insights, discussed the software's potential to assist in screening patients for possibly harmful diseases.

The cloud-based platform will help drive faster and more efficient research by automating data management, enabling predictive forecasts and more.

The deeper integration of ambient and conversational AI into Millennium will help "streamline workflows while enhancing the essential value of the EHR," said a Nuance leader.

There are still challenges to manage and maturity to build, but machine learning is helping uncover hidden insights and streamline workflows so providers can "use our neurons to take care of patients," said one at HIMSS22.

Dr. Jackie Gerhart, a physician at Epic, sat down at HIMSS22 to discuss the electronic health record's massive research database and how its findings can shape individual services. 

At HIMSS22, the CMIO of BayCare Health System will describe how its clinical and IT staff worked together to ensure care providers "received data exactly how they wanted it to appear" – and reduced prescriptions of controlled substances as a result.

The feature is geared toward offering clinicians a holistic view of the patient.

In a preview of his HIMSS22 session, Dr. Thomas Selva talks through his team's Davies Award-winning strategy to detect the life-threatening condition early.

"We succeeded by reframing the view of notes – from buckets of data to thoughtful synthesis that transforms information into knowledge and wisdom," said a clinical transformation leader who will explain more at HIMSS22.

David Klebonis, COO of Palm Beach Accountable Care Organization, will showcase machine learning models at HIMSS22 that can help drive appropriate hospice referrals and surface other important decision support criteria.
