Artificial Intelligence
In May 1954, Roger Bannister did something the medical establishment had declared physiologically impossible: he ran a mile in under…
Owensboro (Ky.) Health is piloting an AI platform developed by Optum and Microsoft that aims to tackle one of the most persistent sources of clinician frustration: the administrative complexity of documentation, coding and claims. For leaders at the health system,…
Health systems are not carving out separate AI budgets. Instead, CIOs told Becker’s AI is being absorbed into existing IT and operational spending and evaluated alongside other enterprise technology investments. At Columbus-based Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, that integration…
The Trump administration March 20 released a national framework outlining its legislative priorities for artificial intelligence, signaling a push for a unified federal approach to regulating the rapidly evolving technology. Here are seven things to know about the framework: The…
How AI is integrated into clinical workflows may significantly influence how medical liability is perceived, according to a study in Nature Health. Researchers from Hershey, Pa.-based Penn State College of Medicine, Providence, R.I.-based Brown University and Newark, N.J.-based Seton Hall…
Before health systems can meaningfully benefit from artificial intelligence, they have to candidly reflect on age-old questions: Do we actually know what data we have? Where does our data live? Can our data even be trusted? For a growing number…
While some doomsayers predict that AI will replace human workers en masse, health system CIOs told Becker’s that healthcare, so reliant on the human touch, is safe. But that doesn’t mean duties won’t change dramatically. In late February, an investment…
Three health systems have recently been using Google AI for tasks such as streamlining previsit histories and identifying reasons for disease outbreaks. Boston-based Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, for instance, is testing Google’s Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer, aka AMIE, a…
Google is expanding its use of AI across healthcare, announcing new investments and product updates aimed at improving access to information and clinician training. At its annual “Check Up” health event March 17, the company said it will commit $10…
Nvidia is expanding its open AI model ecosystem to support healthcare and life sciences use cases, including drug discovery and biomedical research. The effort includes continued development of the company’s BioNeMo and Clara model families, which support applications such as…
Health systems have moved past the exploring phase of artificial intelligence. Today, AI is fully embedded into clinical workflows, particularly for documentation, imaging, operational forecasting and population health. However, implementation is just the beginning; the real work lies in continuous…
