Gold Coast Health has found a way to digitise workflows while maintaining legacy systems.

Dave Snow, CEO of Cedar Gate Technologies, reveals that 60% of all healthcare payments are in some form of value-based care. He offers his insights.

MaineHealth has excelled in virtual care. Its vice president of telehealth and virtual care Lizzy Mulcahy, DNP, and its medical director of telehealth and virtual care Dr. Tracy Jalbuena offer detailed advice on expansion and patient involvement.

Robotic initiatives aim to save on nursing time by providing a variety of tasks and services, including multilingual and emotional support, says hospital director Dr Weide Tsai.

When assessing ROI, "it's not just about improving care quality, it's also about strengthening the sustainability of the service line," says a physician expert from the Illinois health system.

The goal is to fine-tune new technology that "elevates safety and quality while being a catalyst for growth through innovation," says the health system's chief clinical officer.

With a steep artificial intelligence learning curve, the event offers confirmation that "everybody's going through this, everybody's learning along the way – and that's OK," says Rob Havasy, HIMSS senior director of informatics strategy.

Two researchers demonstrate how subtle response-time biomarkers – captured in minutes via digital assessments – can detect Alzheimer's and dementia risk far earlier than traditional methods.

A new reasoning model quantifies how often large language models elaborate on false clinical details fed to them. Prompt mitigation quelled some hallucination frequency, but the AI behind clinical bots may still pose risks, researchers said.
