I find the sources quoted in this article too one-sided (I count 11 C-suite leaders and 0 front line clinicians). There seems to be a growing gap of insight and confidence between the C-suite and front lines of healthcare when it comes to topics like EHRs. The front-line people I speak to still understand EHRs are all about revenue cycle and is otherwise a regrettable reality which continually inhibits the relationships with the patient. True #healthcaretransformation will be to bridge this gap so entire organizations buy-in to better care models which is able to leverage technology like EHRs when they are actually designed to improve patient care. https://lnkd.in/g4u7HVjD HCT Consulting Group

This potential application of CLEAR technology to healthcare is interesting but will it have the intended effect? Will it eliminate multiple entries of the same health data by patients? Will it actually speed the process? Will it make patients happier and improve clinic productivity? The answers to these, like any transformation work, lies in whether or not the health system invests in understanding the patients, people and processes. Then investing in change management and process redesign just like an EMR Implementation. But will they? The technology alone will not be enough. https://lnkd.in/d6vjGPBp HCT Consulting Group

With healthcare AI evolving rapidly, patients and providers are rightfully hesitant to embrace intelligent technology. As a practicing physician, I can understand the hesitancy as clinicians need to build confidence to be able to trust that technology will do what is best for their patients -- the stakes could not be higher. So, here are some thoughts on how you can cultivate trust in harnessing AI in healthcare: ➡️ Weigh the advantages and risks of adopting specific applications. Many of us are excited about generative AI, but we also know there are gaps with this technology. It might engage patient populations with unsuited or problematic dialogue if left without consistent oversight to account for issues commonly associated with generative technology — such as hallucinations (incorrect or misleading outputs) and biases. ➡️ Any effective AI selection process will need to include verifying where its core information originates. How can healthcare leaders do this? One way of gauging data quality in healthcare is to discuss data validation. Ideally, AI vendors in the healthcare space should have processes in place to ensure quality information informs their algorithm, maintain care-related content, and update data in tandem with the evolving industry landscape. I’m sharing two more ways we can make inroads to gain trust during healthcare AI adoption here: https://lnkd.in/eNqEvy_M

#telemedicine, #Walmart Health Instead of viewing telemedicine as just a convenient, stand-alone option, we should integrate it into multi-channel care models that blend in-person with asynchronous (e.g., messaging, RPM) and synchronous (e.g., chat, phone, video) virtual care.

We're excited to share that our Co-Founder and CEO, Tim O’Connell, is featured in Healthcare IT Today! "Recognizing that previous AI solutions have had issues with non-determinism, hallucinations, and reliably referencing source data underscores the need for proactive efforts to create guardrails that address privacy, security, and bias. First, as the technology matures, AI solutions should be placed directly into the hands of healthcare professionals, equipping them to make well-informed, auditable decisions..."

🔍Is your behavioral health treatment strategy reactive or proactive? Starting May 7th, providers and patients can proactively measure treatment and gain insights into symptom severity with our new Behavioral Vital Signs™ report. As a provider, you'll get a comprehensive PDF report via secure message or right in your EHR. This includes trends for clinically validated surveys, actionable self-report data, and even intelligent passive sensing insights for the last 30 days. As a patient you will receive the same report in the Health Rhythms app, where you can share it with your wider care team and securely review them month over month. It's time to improve our mental health measurement capabilities to enhance treatment strategies and improve outcomes. #DigitalHealth #MentalHealthCare #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #healthrhythms #bvs #behavioralvitalsigns

For the past few months, I have been researching the issue of AI in healthcare. Can #AI (HIT 2.0) can cure the ills caused by #EHRs (HIT 1.0)? So this article caught my attention as it touts the various benefits of EHRs. All the benefits notwithstanding, there is no denying that EHRs and the screens have made enormous contribution to 'dehumanizing care' which leads to a loss of #trust and #empathy. It is my personal experience and I have heard from many patients that the triage nurse, medical assistants, physicians etc. in offices spend most of their time looking at the EHR screen and checking boxes rather than connecting with patients. I recently visited an Ortho practice. The medical assistant who checked me in made ZERO eye contact with me, didn't even know of my existence. Their not main, not primary, but ONLY goal was to get me to answer questions that were on their EHR screen so that they can move to the next patient. Unfortunately, this has become an acceptable norm in medicine. I refuse to accept it. If #AI can help restore eye contact with patients in practices across the country, I would greatly welcome it. If it worsens it, than we would continue to lose the essence of medicine 😥 😢 #artofmedicine #patientcare #humanityinmedicine

A recent McKinsey study showed that 9 out of the top 12 healthcare leader technology priorities focus on providing virtual and remote care in Post-acute locations. This clearly shows a drive to develop innovative tools to support “out-of-the-box” care delivery in post-acute areas that were previously too expensive to serve. Leaders are seeing that value-based care and securing their patient population’s loyalty are crucial to their survival. But, there is strong evidence that implementing these tools using an acute care delivery model in post-acute care is still prohibitively expensive. To succeed, providers need to integrate these new tools into an innovative #VirtualCare delivery model focusing on patient needs. https://lnkd.in/eXFZcPWt #patientcare #virtualhealthcare #healthcare #postacutecare

On the list of healthcare workflows ripe for gen AI disruption, prior authorization ranks near the top. While the logic for prior auths is justifiable (i.e., ensuring appropriate utilization and that care aligns with evidence-based practices), the logistical burden is often crushing. Providers have to create orders, run eligibility checks, submit requests, fill out forms, send medical records, and communicate through web portals, faxes, and phone calls—all simply to get care approved. There’s hope on the horizon though. AI-enabled solutions are emerging to reduce this administrative burden. We’re seeing many new entrants in the AI-Enabled Prior Authorization for Providers space covering a range of use-cases, like: 💊 Medications: The focus here is split between oncology drugs, specialty infusion drugs, and popular drugs like GLP-1s. (Examples: Develop Health, SamaCare, tandem, and Latent) 🏥 Procedures, acute care, and post-acute care: This is an area of focus for health systems, but there are fewer AI-enabled vendors in this space at the moment. (Examples: AKASA, Myndshft, and Ethermed) 🩼 Specialty-specific: Some vendors have chosen to focus on other, more niche areas where PAs are common. (Examples: Silna Health for therapy, or Synthpop - Healthcare AI for DME) Looking to the future, there’s an opportunity for clinical decision support in the EHR, clinical summarization, and advancements in interoperability to better support structuring of clinical data and form-filling, further streamlining the authorization process. We’re taking a deeper dive into prior authorization soon (including vendors focused on the payer side)—what questions would you like answered?
