HIMSS TV is your Insider’s Guide to everything HIMSS. We are the world’s first online broadcasting network, focused on global innovation and how information and technology are driving change in healthcare.
Focused on the healthcare C-suite, the inaugural forum found attendees pursuing different projects and are at different stages of artificial intelligence maturity. But all seek to maximize their AI investments for true enterprise-wide value.
HIMSS CEO Hal Wolf, at the HIMSS AI Leadership Strategy Summit in Chicago, describes some use cases, existing and emerging, that he's excited about. Change is on the horizon, and its time to start planning for it, he says.
Nabla CEO Alex LeBrun says the company's AI tool, which blends ambient AI with dictation, integrates with multiple EHRs to prepare documentation and can perform other intelligent actions according to clinicians' needs.
Using a point solution to scale artificial intelligence may not be effective when dealing "with every possible disease, patient or service line," and relying on one LLM could be too rigid for future coding, says Pelu Tran, Ferrum Health CEO.
The Health AI Partnership is offering technical assistance to help FQHCs and community hospitals bridge the digital divide, says Dr. Mark Sendak, population health & data science lead at the Duke Institute for Health Innovation.
Hospitals need better visibility into the various AI-enabled tools coming onto their networks, and the ability to track new traffic patterns, security vulnerabilities and privacy risks, says Richard Staynings, chief security strategist at Cylera.
Properly deployed, AI agents could expand physicians' capabilities, allowing them to be more focused on care delivery, says Dr. Jonah Feldman, medical director for clinical transformation and informatics at NYU Langone.
The new research aims to explore models' diagnostic and management reasoning skills – and what that could mean for clinicians and patients, says Dr. Ethan Goh, executive director of Stanford ARISE, the AI Research and Science Evaluation Network.
Artificial intelligence-driven cost estimation tools and telehealth are addressing patient care gaps and improving care access while lowering total costs for employee groups, says Robin Glass, president of Included Health.
Dr Chia-Te Liao, director of the Center for Evidence-based Medicine & Health Policy at Chi Mei Medical Center in Taiwan, shares how the hospital promoted generative AI adoption.
AI is more readily adopted in other industries, and there are "thousands of reasons for that," says HIMSS Chief Scientific Research Officer Anne Snowdon. The biggest is that in healthcare lives are at stake. "We don't ever take that for granted."
Agentic AI learns and can evaluate claims to make faster decisions to drive improved reimbursement, says John Yount, Chief Innovation Officer at FinThrive.
