New research uses a brain stimulation device to help patients with treatment-resistant depression. Dr. Joshua Eloge, associate director of the Rush Woman's Board Depression Treatment Research Center, and Jenn Wong of Abbott, explain.

Dr Tamara Sunbul, CIO of Fakeeh Care Group, emphasised certifications and training in telemedicine.

The new plan directs the U.S. Department of Commerce to revise artificial intelligence risk management frameworks, which could undo protections that might be seen as "woke" in order to do business with the federal government.

76% of active, schedulable employed provider profiles are now well-configured, 79% of employed providers are configured with clinical keywords for improved search relevance, and the platform has led to streamlined workflows and operational efficiency.

Earlier this month in Brooklyn, HIMSS informatics leader Rob Havasy joined us for a discussion about the excitement and challenges he sees as health systems scale up their adoption and deployment of new AI tools.

"Even if these systems are right 80% of the time, that still means they're wrong 20% of the time," says tech CMO Dr. Jay Anders, who describes the risks of artificial intelligence errors and outlines some protection strategies for providers.

Its AI advisory group is also reviewing several other similar tools.

The health system's Chief Nursing Officer Duane Perry talks about how smart rooms are redefining the role of the bedside nurse and how he and his team plan to prevent tech fatigue among staff to ensure the investment continues to deliver value.

Physicians, nurses and patients have embraced the health system's smart rooms, which, along with virtual nursing, have helped slash nursing turnover at one hospital from 23% in July 2024 to 14% this month.

Use of artificial intelligence to translate patient chart notes into a reader-friendly format is showing promise, says Dr. Jonah Zaretsky, medical director at NYU Langone Hospital Brooklyn.
