?? What aspects of AI present the biggest risks in healthcare? 1. Lack of transparency 2. Lack of reliability 3. Lack of true medical training 4. Bias Other? Please share with us in the comments. | #AIinHealthcare #AI #AIGuardrails

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai conducted a study to identify cost-effective and efficient strategies for the implementation of large language models (LLMs) into healthcare systems. Here are some key takeaways: ? High-capacity LLMs can reduce healthcare costs by up to 17 times when handling 50 simultaneous tasks efficiently. ? Task grouping optimizes workflows, conserves resources, and enhances AI utility in healthcare, ensuring reliable support in critical settings. https://bit.ly/4hXAbwH | #AIinHealthcare #LLMs #LargeLanguageModels #ClinicalWorkflows Medical Economics

Check out this episode of #HIMSSTV ??! ? Nearly half of FDA-approved AI medical devices haven't been trained on real patient data. Bill Siwicki sits down to chat about this with our very own Jay Anders, MD! Dr. Anders, chief medical officer at Medicomp, offers solutions to this challenge and explains problems with using synthetic data. https://bit.ly/3OmqHxm | #AIinHealthcare #HealthData #AIMedicalDevices #AIGuardrails #ResponsibleAI HIMSS Healthcare IT News

Despite the 21st Century Cures Act's prohibition of information blocking in 2016, health data interoperability remains a significant challenge. In 2021, 42% of hospitals reported perceived instances of information blocking, according to the American Hospital Association. Information blocking enforcement has begun, with a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services final rule that subjects providers to "appropriate disincentives" should the HHS Office of Inspector General find them guilty of information blocking.

Burnout continues to be problematic for family physicians, but it helps when doctors have a good team and spend appropriate time using electronic health records (EHRs), according to a new study. Here are some key takeaways from the study: ? Burnout among family physicians is significant, peaking at 42.8% in 2022, with no decline over the study period. ? Effective team collaboration and efficient EHR use can mitigate burnout, but VBC may increase documentation burdens. ? Urban settings and clinics with multiple clinicians are linked to lower team efficiency and appropriate EHR time. ? Enhancing primary care team capacity and minimizing home EHR time are crucial for sustainable practice. https://bit.ly/3UQNt4d | #PhysicianBurnout #BurnoutPrevention #EHRs #ClinicalWorkflows Medical Economics

The digital revolution in healthcare was expected to transform the patient experience—simplifying access to electronic medical records, enabling care management through patient portals and mobile apps, and safeguarding privacy. However, there is still a long way to go. “It’s absolutely imperative that we make it profoundly easier for individuals to access their medical information and make information exchange possible in a trusted and secure way,” says Mariann Yeager, chief executive of the nonprofit The Sequoia Project, which is working with the federal government to develop a nationwide health-information-exchange network.

After analyzing over 80 studies on the topic, researchers concluded that nurse burnout led to lower safety ratings and weakened the overall safety culture. It was strongly linked to medication errors, patient safety incidents, other adverse events, and a higher occurrence of hospital-acquired infections. To date, most anti-burnout initiatives have focused on individual strategies, like mindfulness or resilience training, aimed at helping individuals manage stress. However, the authors note that effective interventions are often needed at the team or unit level, where healthcare workers benefit from teamwork, a sense of community, professional growth, and recognition.

With generative AI coming into its own, AI regulators must avoid relying too much on principles of risk management—and not enough on those of uncertainty management. A new report from the American Enterprise Institute fleshes out the how’s and why’s of this position. Dave Pearson has the story via AI in Healthcare: https://bit.ly/4erfk1M | #AI #AIinHealthcare

For this episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, John Lynn and Colin Hung are analyzing the patient experience to decide if it is marketing or tech! Here’s a preview of the topics and questions discussed in this episode: ? What aspects of patient experience are marketing? ? What aspects of patient experience are tech? ? Does patient experience suffer because you have to bridge the gap between marketing and tech? ? What are some examples of companies or organizations bridging this gap?

As debate simmers over how best to regulate AI, experts continue to offer guidance on where to start, how to proceed and what to emphasize. A new resource models its recommendations on what its authors call the “SETO Loop.” The acronym derives from a 4-part formula for establishing a regulatory framework: Identify the Scope of what is meant to be protected, assess the Existing regulations across nodes in the relevant stack, select the Tools of regulation; and choose the Organization meant to enact the regulations.
