Even the best algorithm could still need months to verify its performance, a healthcare systems expert says. So IT leaders should ensure they budget for the training process whenever they evaluate any artificial intelligence technology.
Researchers recognized Epic, athenahealth, Impact Advisors, Evergreen, Chartis and others for notable performances based on customer experience feedback from this past year.
AR and other immersive virtual experiences hold huge promise – enabling shorter and more streamlined training periods, more satisfied clinicians and "invigorated learning environments," MGB innovation leaders will show at HIMSS24.

Artificial intelligence can help infusion centers lower patient wait times and reduce staff overtime, while supporting growth, says Ashely Joseph, vice president of infusion centers client services at LeanTaaS.
ECRI, the patient safety organization, has published its annual list of the 10 health technology hazards it's watching in 2024.
Further guidance is needed to protect patients from "sycophantic" genAI documentation outputs that influence medical decisions, and researchers are asking the FDA "to clarify its oversight before summarization becomes a part of routine patient care."

There's too little focus on governance, patient preferences and workforce needs among leaders seeking to implement generative AI, according to a new Deloitte survey of 60 healthcare executives.
Nursing and IT
The nursing-oriented remote patient monitoring approach also prevents more than 500 falls each month at the Minnesota health system. And it's improved staffing ratios – sometimes dramatically, depending on patient acuity.
