Love this post by Mark Hagland from Healthcare Innovation . I attended the same AI Forum and agree! Discussions were based in actual experience and took a pragmatic approach to our biggest AI adoption challenges: clinician adoption, end-user productivity gains (versus just adding another task), and ensuring we eliminate bias in the data models. Love this quote.... "...Healthcare IT leaders nationwide are investing in and adopting the newer information technologies more thoughtfully than ever". Vendors MUST prove their value proposition with real outcomes and success stories. But unlike Mark, I actually liked the DJs. Enjoy Mark's summary of #HIMSS25 here. #healthit #aiinhealthcare

HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, and most other conferences taking place these days, was dominated by #AI with panel sessions moving beyond the basic ‘understanding AI…’ to more pragmatic discussions that had a ‘tone of resolute realism,’ as journalist Mark Hagland describes it. Regarding patient communications, he quotes Irene Louh, M.D. stating, “…there are a lot of opportunities leveraging AI, so this is a really exciting time to be in healthcare and healthcare IT.” I couldn’t agree more. One of IntelePeer's customers, a connected healthcare solution provider, was looking to reduce call hold time and a more than 30% abandonment rate in its call center. Using AI, we’re automating more than 80% of their inbound calls while also improving the patient experience.

In the Wednesday morning keynote address at the HIMSS conference in Las Vegas, General Paul Nakasone, former commander of US Cyber Command and former director of the National Security Agency (NSA), recalled the time the defense secretary called him to ensure the secure distribution of a to-be-developed COVID-19 vaccine. One of the reasons Nakasone accepted the invitation from HIMSS to speak is because he was at the Pentagon on 9/11, he told the audience. “I saw the Arlington Fire Department. I saw the first responders from different states. I saw them come together to provide support and care for 1000s of people at the Pentagon on that just tragic Tuesday morning.” Additionally, after spending over 37 years in the US military, Nakasone continued, “I saw the power of military medicine.” “The competitive advantage of our nation's military forces is this idea of the golden hour, that any place that you are on the battlefield, if you are significantly wounded, you will have care within an hour that will likely save your life.” https://lnkd.in/e7_bMBbU
