What are healthcare leaders focused on for the second half of 2024? As we advance into the latter half of 2024, five major focus areas are shaping conversations in our healthcare systems from Becker's Healthcare. 1. Enhancing operational workflows and reducing administrative tasks to boost productivity and streamline patient care. 2. Integrating and optimizing EHR systems to ensure data management and enhanced care coordination. 3. Leveraging AI to innovate, automate processes, and drive better decision-making and patient outcomes. 4. Addressing workforce challenges, such as burnout and retention, while leveraging technology to support and improve staff efficiency and satisfaction. 5. Strengthening measures to safeguard sensitive information and maintain trust in our digital health systems. https://lnkd.in/eBmwgZvv

LLMs are not quite ready for prime-time medical diagnoses ❓ Atropos Health's study underscores the limitations of general-purpose #LLMs in the healthcare realm. While they show promise, their reliability in providing accurate and actionable clinical evidence is far from ideal. ☑ General-purpose LLMs like ChatGPT struggle with medical queries, often providing irrelevant or hallucinated information. ✅ Healthcare-specific LLMs perform better but still have limitations. ☑ Atropos' proprietary model, ChatRWD, leverages real-world data to provide more accurate and actionable insights. The study highlights the need for more specialized #AI tools tailored to healthcare. However, even with advancements, human expertise and randomized controlled trials remain essential for evidence-based medicine. The future lies in combining human expertise with AI to enhance patient care. #LLM #HealthTech #DigitalHealthcare

Having a great time in Washington at The Healthcare Innovation Company (thINc) Conference! In this session on Digital Health and AI, a key speaker shared a thought-provoking analogy on the role of AI in healthcare. He asked, “Would you board a plane with only a pilot or only a computer (intelligent system)? We want both, right?” This perfectly sums up the integration of AI in healthcare. While AI can significantly enhance decision-making and streamline processes, the human factor remains crucial for final decision-making. In healthcare, AI serves as a powerful tool to support professionals, making their lives easier and enabling them to make better, more informed decisions. It’s about creating a partnership between technology and human expertise to drive optimal outcomes. We’re excited to be working on some interesting AI use cases in healthcare, leveraging custom LLM models to further enhance this synergy. Some exciting times ahead 🙌 #HealthcareInnovation #AIinHealthcare #HealthTech #thINc360 #FutureOfHealthcare

While the #FHIR specification greatly enhances healthcare #interoperability, beginners often find it challenging to navigate. Analysts and developers frequently face issues that aren't directly addressed in the FHIR documentation. Below is an overview of some common questions surrounding the FHIR search. For those seeking more detailed information and examples, check out our comprehensive article on FHIR search linked in the comments! #hl7 #healthIT

As the influence of AI in healthcare grows, so does the importance of clinical expertise. In this podcast, Inovalon's VP of Clinical Informatics and Enterprise Solutions, Dr. Kathryn Eshelman, M.D, M.P.H., shares why pairing large datasets with the right models and clinical context is the key to making more meaningful impact on patient care. https://lnkd.in/eRduSuFZ

As we talk about EHR and AI, this is something really eye opening. We need to remember data is importantl but also people, process and technology. If we don’t do a good job at any one of these it is going to effect patients’ lives. Oracle’s $28 billion acquisition of Cerner aimed to transform healthcare by leveraging AI to analyze vast amounts of medical records. However, significant challenges have emerged, particularly with Cerner’s problematic rollout at the VA, leading to serious patient care issues. The potential to revolutionize healthcare and clinical trials with accurate, real-time data is immense. But the stakes are high—ensuring system reliability and data integrity is crucial for success. #Healthcare #AI #ClinicalTrials #HealthTech #ehr https://lnkd.in/gVdHWrHZ

Big healthcare AI news yesterday as Tempus AI received the first-ever CPT code for an algorithm-only analysis of previously-sequenced, laboratory developed test transcriptomic data. TLDR: AI molecular phenotyping has a new business model. The PurISTSM test uses RNA profiling to identify molecular subtypes in patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, which may inform first-line therapy selection and management. While I'm skeptical that payer balance sheets are going to solve the "who pays for healthcare AI" problem, the reimbursement pipes for clinical AI are maturing. I am surprised to see more progress for usage-based vs. performance-based models given the many challenges with FFS economics. It will be interesting to see how payers assess the "medical necessity" and therefore reimbursability of clinical AI as these models come to market. https://t.co/eLe18SmihV

For decades, siloed data systems slowed adverse drug reporting to a crawl. Now national healthcare organizations can access the data they need in real time. Here’s how #FHIR made it possible:   The #interoperability standard plays an essential role in Project BEST, an initiative from the FDA and eHealth Exchange that automates adverse drug event reporting and improves patient safety. I recently had the pleasure of joining Jay Nakashima, president of eHealth Exchange, on a HIMSSCast to discuss how it came to life.   Jay and I explain how the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs tapped the project to build a cutting-edge system for delivering notifications about adverse events tied to biologics and vaccinations. It replaced old approaches to information sharing with a speedy connection to drug data. And it opened the door to the robust surveillance needed to protect the people who serve our nation.   As FHIR continues to enable new workflows, unprecedented use cases abound. The only question: What thorny #healthcare challenge will you tackle with the standard next?   Listen to our discussion here: https://lnkd.in/ey6WkbmA   HIMSS #interoperability #healthcare #healthdata #FHIR #healthIT

Check out a recent healthcare IT webinar on Empowering Health Management for Underserved Populations, presented by my colleague Neal Rosenblatt and facilitated by me. This was a very insightful discussion of how healthcare organizations can help reduce the digital divide which is no longer just about access. You can watch the previously recorded webinar in the link below: https://lnkd.in/gfWaCkBi

Great article from STAT about rural health care systems efforts to adopt the right AI solutions. At Asher Informatics PBC we help provide evidence-based high value customized "use cases" for each healthcare system based on their patient populations, IT & device infrastructure, volume and physician needs. Once a healthcare system understands the AI function and focused case value that holds the highest ROI, we identify & match the appropriate AI policies and AI governance around that use case. #clinicalAI #ruralhealth #SDOH #medicalAI
