Researchers applied algorithms to data from 200,000 intensive care unit stays at 208 hospitals to develop two models that could help clinicians assess patient risks and apply interventions.

A lack of quality clinical data is hindering machine learning models for oncology and other treatments, says Steve Irvine, CEO of integrate.ai, who describes how federated learning approaches can enable secure access to a wider array of datasets.

 An innovation culture at Sheba Medical Center has produced efficiencies and cost savings.

The state has signed the Kentucky-based healthcare IT company, which now operates PDMPs in 44 states, to run a heavily-debated program expected to launch in spring 2023.

While more data is still needed to reveal if mandated compliance programs decrease opioid prescription diversion and doctor shopping, new ONC studies show "substantial growth" in the use of EPCS and "widespread use" of PDMPs in 2021.
