Algorithms and large language models are already transforming healthcare processes across many use cases. Here's how some pioneering health IT leaders are using AI today, and how they're planning for the future.

It will leverage OpenAI's large language models to help the direct primary care physicians using Hint's platform have more time with patients and spend less time taking notes, the companies say.

The outreach program is showing serious clinical ROI by relying on patient-reported blood pressure data linked to the Epic MyChart-based interactive digital health assistant, Care Companion.

Home hospitalisation, tech-enabled preventive care, and genomic data-driven personalised care are some of the emerging trends in care in the Asia-Pacific region.

If they want to apply these models, it has to be hosted locally to preserve data integrity, said Dr Roel Bolt, CMIO of Franciscus Hospital.

Also, Noted has integrated with the Medicly HIE to provide its users access to data across health facilities.

Joint governance, audit monitoring and effective communication can help win patient trust, even in a fraught cybersecurity landscape where health systems are targeted for their patient data, says a Kaiser Permanente informatics leader.

As more states roll out e-prescribing legislation, providers can turn to one-stop solutions for multi-factor authentication and identity-proofing.

The Oracle Clinical Digital Assistant tool can also respond to conversational voice prompts from clinicians, the company says, as it aims to "reduce mundane work that leads to burnout."

Making digital health an extension of health facilities can help organisations meet the growing shortage of health workers, says HIMSS President Hal Wolf.
