A Yale University School of Medicine ER clinical informatics expert offers a deep dive preview of his HIMSS24 educational session that will show how artificial intelligence and CDS can boost emergency care.

With waits for individual psychotherapy as long as several months and several thousand outstanding orders, the mostly rural health system needed a solution. Combining group therapy and telemedicine was the answer.

For the newest in our interview series with IT leaders about artificial intelligence's potential, Dr. Rebecca Mishuris shows where MGB is getting results, from clinician burnout to patient experience – and she stresses the need for responsible AI.

One professional's shift to virtual care showed improved results for children learning to eat in their own homes with their parents, rather than in provider settings – and she's since made the shift to 100% virtual.

"The intersection of public health and artificial intelligence represents a transformation in healthcare," says one epidemiologist, who sees the chance to greatly improve disease prevention and management, and promote health and wellness.

Regulators are starting to see an opportunity to incentivize the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, says one expert, who predicts accelerating adoption ahead, with "meaningful use" of explainable AI.

"The more users on the platform, the stronger the platform becomes," says the health system's digital health chief.

A telehealth expert offers a look at the year ahead, where he also sees more growth in virtual chronic care management and employer-based care.

Done right, more widespread adoption of remote patient monitoring will offer breakthrough innovations where healthcare delivery can be improved, clinician workloads can be right-sized and better patient outcomes can be achieved, an expert says.

With telemedicine, the time for patients coming out of the ER or a convenience clinic to see a primary care provider has gone from weeks to 24-72 hours. And virtual care has helped the health system achieve a 72% completion rate of Medicare annual wellness visits.
