The introduction of ChatGPT directed the world’s attention to the power of generative artificial intelligence and its applications across industries. Though the potential of AI applied to drug discovery workflows has been known for years, the emphasis and excitement around large, generative models will significantly accelerate the adoption and validation of these tools for biological discovery.
The early results demonstrate...
Amazon Web Services recently launched AWS HealthScribe, a clinical documentation program that uses speech recognition technology and generative artificial intelligence (AI) to automate note taking for patient visits. The program has the potential to reduce burnout caused by the documentation burden in healthcare.
HealthScribe uses a single application programming interface to create transcripts, extract details and compose summaries of patient...
Digital transformation in healthcare has been turbocharged by the integration of artificial intelligence. AI tools have emerged as a game changer, creating opportunities to enhance diagnostics and treatment, resulting in improved patient outcomes.
However, as healthcare organizations embrace the potential of AI-driven applications, it is becoming increasingly clear that the vast amounts of data required by these applications require targeted,...
Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that is reshaping society. While the use of AI is increasing in healthcare, there is still much to be learned to implement AI technologies while ensuring appropriate protocols to protect an organization and its patients.
Here’s what healthcare organizations should know about AI and how they can prepare for the adoption of such technologies...
Though virtual care deployments have been a major focus in healthcare for the past three years, organizations have not forgotten their ongoing journeys to transform their physical spaces too.
Modern patient rooms in hospitals are evolving to offer more consumer-oriented comforts, with amenities that wouldn’t be out of place in someone’s living room. Take Penn Medicine’s newly built pavilion at...
There’s a perception by some that the healthcare industry lags when it comes to technology, but in fact, there’s a longstanding tradition of innovation in the industry. Hospital-based telemedicine dates to the 1950s, the first electronic health record system emerged in the 1970s and robot-assisted surgery debuted in the 1980s.
Today, technology previously imagined in science fiction is increasingly common...
As healthcare organizations continue to adapt to workforce challenges and evolving patient expectations, automated solutions transforming care delivery are supporting clinical workflows.
During a HIMSS23 session in Chicago, leaders from the UCSF Center for Digital Health and Nemours Children’s Health shared lessons learned from standing up automated care programs in collaboration with Amwell that have improved patient outcomes.
“Sometimes, we go...
Healthcare organizations have a wealth of point solutions to choose from for moving care delivery into the future. From artificial intelligence-powered tools to 5G-enabled smart hospitals, tomorrow’s healthcare holds a lot of promise.
But making sure all those solutions connect to key data sources, support clinicians’ workflows without adding administrative burdens and create a seamless patient experience will continue to...
Governance over the use of artificial intelligence in regulated environments such as healthcare has been developing in an almost arbitrary manner.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has taken the most definitive steps in its publication of the 2021 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Software as a Medical Device Action Plan, which outlined the establishment of “practical oversight” of AI...
Healthcare organizations are dynamic ecosystems with users that include clinicians as well as business and IT support. While they have different information access needs, the ultimate goal of all of these roles is to provide quality care and keep sensitive patient information secure.
Microsoft Entra ID (previously known as Microsoft Azure Active Directory) is a cloud-based access management system that...
