Artificial Intelligence

Cybersecurity and artificial intelligence are the chief concerns in the region, followed by cloud adoption and use of machine learning in medical imaging, says Sam Amory, managing director for the Middle East and Africa at Dedalus.

Symplr uses AI and predictive analytics to perform mundane tasks such as time card management for nurse managers. This allows them to spend more of their time on direct patient care, says Tony DiGiorgio, the company's chief architect.

And technology is key, as the health system's new Consumer Data Hub provides a secure 360-degree view of the patient, while its new Enterprise Data Fabric unifies diverse data sources – offering immediate access and enabling advanced AI-powered analytics.

An accountable care expert offers perspective on the role artificial intelligence can play in transforming risk adjustment, synthesizing quality and risk data, and helping patients more fully engage with their care.

"We want to support our clinicians so they can sustainably serve our patients," says the health system's CHIO, who sees big potential for the EHR-linked generative AI tool to reduce administrative burden and alleviate burnout.

The new Office of Management and Budget policies will require "concrete safeguards" around the transparent and responsible use of artificial intelligence across government – including at the CDC, VA hospitals and other federal sites.

There are limitations to current large language models for coding and identifying clinical quality measures, says Dr. Jay Anders, CMO at Medicomp Systems, who discusses the need for further model training and clinical vigilance to avoid errors.  

Also, Indian cancer care network HealthCare Global Enterprises has come out with a new mobile application. 

The personalized, large language model-backed framework is designed to provide support for patient needs – whether answering urgent health questions or just lending an empathetic ear.

The accomplishment puts the health system in a better position to attract and retain the talent that is so critical to its ability to serve its patients, says its VP of operations.
