We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 8/23 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Linda Stotsky (@EMRAnswers) from @Bossoft on the topic “Applying AI, Machine Learning and Automation to Reduce Redundancies in Healthcare”.
Healthcare has historically been behind the eight ball when it comes to most other technologies. Other industries, like banking, aerospace, and manufacturing have led the way, much to the peril of a CIO, Revenue Cycle Director, MD, and Patient. Here’s the thing. Opportunities don’t always have to be huge to make a positive impact. Through “smarter” design, we can improve organizational efficiency, reduce burnout among role based users, and reduce variation in our patient communities. These are the basic building blocks of any successful digital healthcare transformation. They aren’t specific steps, vendors or organizational designs. They are flexible and adaptive components of technology that will vary from one user to the next. They are pivotal in shifting perspective from individual behavior (we’ve always done it this way), to a more inclusive, productive, and engaging direction.
Access to the right information delivered to the right person at the right time, can bridge data silos, eliminate redundancies, reduce physician burden and improve patient outcomes.
Healthcare needs to invest in the right combination of technology processes to enable maximum efficiency and usability. Why not invest in automation to leverage the largest financial investments of your organization, your people and systems.
Changes to access, quality and payment structures will alter the fundamental building blocks of healthcare delivery. As we enter 2020, our focus should be more on simplifying and reducing healthcare complexities.
How can AI, Machine Learning and Automation help us achieve these goals?
Join us at this week’s #HITsm chat where we’ll discuss how we can reduce redundancies in healthcare.
Topics for this week’s #HITsm Chat:
T1: Who would you say has led the pack in terms of AI, ML and automation in Healthcare? Why do you think so? #HITsm
T2: Why do vendors remain cloaked in complexity when asked about data migration? #HITsm
T3: What is slowing healthcare organizations down from finally sun-setting legacy applications? #HITsm
T4: How can we effectively gauge the productivity of role based users in EHRs? #HITsm
T5: What parts of healthcare would you like to see automated and why? #HITsm
Bonus: If there was one thing in life you could automate. What would it be? #HITsm
