In a HIMSS Learning Center presentation, Mayo Clinic oncologists Dr. Tufia Haddad and Dr. Nadia Laack will share their perspectives about the potential for AI to accelerate clinical research and improve care.

The plan will make telehealth a foundational modality of care, with the option for patients to follow up with in-person visits if necessary.

However, it can augment people's routines and improve their day-to-day lives, said an expert panel at the HIMSS & Health 2.0 Europe Digital Conference.

The SF-based health tech company says its telemedicine platform saw double-digit growth during the pandemic.

In a study, researchers also found this telemonitoring reduced hypertension more than usual care.

Using the Mount Sinai De-Identified COVID-19 database, researchers examined information from more than 52,000 unique patients who sought care between March and May.

With uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 ramifications, healthcare organisations need to establish resilient and agile systems going forward. The facilitation of clinical decision support solutions reduces unwarranted variability. 

A wide-ranging JAMA study showed that early adopters of direct scheduling were more often young, white and commercially insured.  

The UK’s Royal Marsden Hospital in London has developed an e-form solution using Hyland OnBase that captures and tracks COVID-19 symptom responses from cancer patients remotely, prior to an appointment or treatment visit.

Although AI documentation assistants will likely be integral to future primary care consultations, they'll still need to be supervised by a human.
