The health system recently implemented an AI-powered scoring tool for overnight sleep studies, of which WellSpan does about 3,000 a year, a spokesperson told Becker’s June 27.

Algorithms now help generate the study reports, reducing the time it takes to create them from about an hour and a half to 20 minutes, according to WellSpan. They are also now standardized. The technology has also allowed the health system to clear its backlog of reports and freed up providers to spend more time on patient care and education.

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.
