The American Hospital Association and the West Health Institute are launching a three-year initiative to help hospitals scale technology-driven solutions to improve care delivery.
Here are four things to know about the initiative:
- The effort, called the West Health Accelerator at the AHA’s Health Research & Educational Trust, is backed by a $12 million commitment from West Health and will focus on expanding the use of technologies that have already demonstrated effectiveness.
- The program will prioritize electronic health record optimization, virtual care and artificial intelligence integration, according to an April 29 news release.
- Participating organizations will gain access to a digital platform featuring vetted, ready-to-deploy solutions, along with implementation support and guidance from experts at both organizations.
- The program also includes peer learning opportunities and a network of hospitals that will serve as national models by sharing their experiences adopting and scaling technology-enabled care.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
