HIMSS24

These technologies can help cure healthcare worker burnout, patient confusion and inefficient communications between care teams, says a top exec and nurse.

At HIMSS24, the president of Mayo Clinic Platform offered some tough truths about the challenges of deploying genAI – touting its enormous potential while spotlighting patient safety dangers to guard against in provider settings.

The model can be used to create products that improve the way radiologists, technicians and support staff interact with medical images, the company's CEO says.

AI could identify early signs of heart disease and even Alzheimer’s in ocular images. But Kerry Goetz, associate director, NEI Office of Data Science and Health Informatics, says a lack of interoperability keeps this image data out of EHRs.  

At HIMSS24, CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen, and Deputy National Coordinator Steve Posnack discussed the state of public health data exchange, and where cross-agency collaboration can take it.
