The ability to actively manage data is the conduit to success in today's healthcare environment – maintaining engagement with frontline colleagues and surgeons is one key to success, says a physician admin at the East Coast health system.

Dr. Ty Gluckman, one of a team of hundreds of board-certified physicians who help with the evidence-based care standard of one vendor's clinical analytics system, offers some insights, as a practicing physician, into these IT imperatives.

Healthcare has too often been reactive. But a more forward-thinking approach, using tools and technologies for RPM, can help reduce readmissions, improve patient outcomes and enable success with value-based care models.

Educators collaborate with preceptors to identify knowledge gaps and create targeted content. Tangible benefits include reducing overtime costs and repeat in-person training sessions – nurses can now review materials when they wish.

The AI models, paired with standardized care pathways, can be transformative in addressing readmissions and other high-impact quality metrics – but their success hinges on thoughtful design and implementation, cardiac quality doc says.

The rural Texas health system has reduced the number of transfers to other facilities for higher level stroke care, reduced stroke call-to-screen time to under 7.5 minutes, and dropped door-to-needle time to as low as 34 minutes.

It's eliminated two hours of daily admin time and three hours of daily manual work, a practice manager says. Patient no-show rates are now under 4.5%. Surgical procedures are also more efficient. The clinic PM tells the whole story – and offers tips others could learn from.

An AI-powered frontline leaders platform has helped bring about a nearly 20% reduction in nurse turnover because leaders now have more time to build stronger relationships and step in sooner when someone is struggling, the chief nurse says.

The Epic-integrated tech boosted automated medication instruction mapping from 26% to 86%. Further, the clinical-grade AI's ability to understand unstructured Rx instructions eliminated manual entry in an additional 60% of cases.

Mountain View Medical Center also says its new EHR, embedded with AI, has helped with a 63% increase in collections year over year and a 45.3% increase in charges posted – along with the addition of five more providers and 20 new staff members.
