Companies in November announced new efforts to fine-tune foundational models to advance radiology intelligence and implement baked-in security for cloud environments and medical devices. They're also using AI to protect patients.

‘Permanent emergency mode’ – the norm for too many hospitals – is not sustainable. A command centre equipped with predictive algorithms can help healthcare teams identify risks and take preventive action before they disrupt hospital operations.

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.

Meeting the EMR maturity model requirements has improved patient safety and data accuracy at the group’s hospitals.

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.

AI-powered analytics, evolving regulations and smart camera performance are driving new surveillance installations, delivering efficiencies and improving care.

Remote patient monitoring has begun to collect vital signs and other patient data more strategically and efficiently: Instead of waiting until a patient experiences distress, AI can help clinicians intervene earlier.

The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine did a controlled test and showed the odds of infection-related readmissions were decreased in the RTM group by 76% at 30 days, 80% at 60 days and 68% at 90 days.

Many healthcare providers are missing opportunities by believing digital transformation isn't for them. But with cost and margin pressures rising, health systems should reevaluate the long-term value proposition, one consultant says.

The recent CrowdStrike outage might have made the issue top of mind for many hospitals IT and security leaders. But it's important to remember that controls don’t fail in just major events – they're always at risk.
