How Mayo, NYU Langone + more are using AI to improve patient care

From using a Google-backed generative artificial intelligence application to find patient information quicker to creating a AI-based tool that can predict a patient’s risk of dying, here is how eight hospitals and health systems are using the technology to improve patient care, clinical workflows and operational efficiency:

  • New Orleans-based Ochsner Health is installing Aidoc’s clinical artificial intelligence platform. Ochsner will use the AI algorithms to identify acute abnormalities in patient scans.
  • Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic is using artificial intelligence algorithms to help treat patients with kidney stones. The new AI-based system tests a kidney stone after it passes through a patient’s body to discover what chemicals make up the stone.
  • New York City-based Mount Sinai Health System scans patient records with AI to identify patients at risk for malnutrition.
  • New York City-based NYC Health + Hospitals has an algorithm that looks through brain scans to find patients who may be good candidates for blood clot removal.
  • New York City-based NYU Langone Health has a care planning tool that predicts patients’ risk of dying within the next two months, prompting physicians to discuss end-of-life planning.
  • Peoria, Ill.-based OSF HealthCare created an artificial intelligence-based algorithm that can predict the upcoming week’s work schedule for its nurse navigators who are in charge of facilitating the process of cancer care for patients.
  • Chapel Hill, N.C.-based UNC Health has created a generative AI-based internal chatbot using Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service. The bot will help streamline administrative work for its staff. Some of the tasks the bot will take on will include “how-to” documents, in which staff can ask the bot questions on how to access reference materials and documents.
  • Clinicians at Chicago-based Northwestern Medicine used an artificial intelligence-powered tool to achieve a 13 percent increase in the detection and removal of colorectal polyps.
  • Vish Anantraman, MD, chief technology officer at Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic, is using Google Cloud’s generative artificial intelligence application to help find patient information quicker. 

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.
