Decision Support

SNOMED International says it will create and release an openly available International Patient Summary sub-ontology in the first half of 2022, aimed at promoting cross-border information sharing.

Indigenous people and senior Australians are poised to benefit from this latest research project. 

The new data science and AI center aims to "establish appropriate AI governance, set validation and documentation standards, detect inherent bias, ensure data integrity and promote AI literacy among caregivers."

It is frustrating for time-pressed clinicians to jump from one system to another to mine patient data, but now tried and tested solutions – which enable seamless connectivity between unrelated health systems – are becoming more widely available.

The system, which offers “radiologist-level accuracy”, has been designed as a decision support tool for clinicians.

The health system's chief analytics officer offers some lessons learned assessing CDS and clinical workflows to reduce the alert fatigue for providers.

The study, from MetroHealth and Case Western Reserve University, suggests the AI-powered EHR system can help alert clinicians before symptoms become visible and potentially deadly to patients.

The EHR integration can help practices, hospitals and academic medical centers access genomic information more easily in the EHR for more streamlined clinical decision support.

The deal, financial terms of which were not disclosed, will help expand both companies' precision medicine offerings, bringing genomic insights to EHR workflows at the point of care.
