A 2023 industry survey shows how organizations increasingly turn to software as a solution. Out of 201 US healthcare provider executives, 56% cited software and IT as their strategic priorities—up from 34% in 2022. About half of them are working with or planning on implementing generative AI systems.
When correctly implemented, custom healthcare software brings new cash flow into your practice. The question then is not when, but how to integrate it.
Both private and government healthcare providers are actively adopting AI-enhanced software to increase revenue and operational efficiency.
- Mayo Clinic collaborated with Google Cloud to use generative AI to unify healthcare data across devices, systems, and intranets. The resulting tool allows professionals to search sources that lie outside the scope of traditional software. What’s more, Google Cloud’s toolset complies with HIPAA guidelines for secure storage.
- UC San Diego Health adopted a suite of healthcare analytics applications with health service assessment and training modules. As a result, they decreased acute inpatient admissions by 4.3%, reduced the length of stay by 8%, and increased the follow-up appointment rate by 41.7%, which saved them $883,000 per year.
- Hartford HealthCare launched a centralized AI platform to predict hospital stay durations, patient condition progression, secondary stroke risks, and surgery outcomes, reducing hospital stay length by 7%. The healthcare solution also optimizes scheduling and claims to reduce the time needed to finalize six-week staff blocks from 88 to around 10 hours.
- Chicago-based rehab provider ITEX integrated a telehealth program enabling virtual visits through mobile devices and incorporated note-taking into their EHR system. These solutions are increasing revenue in healthcare by reducing cost per visit, unnecessary readmissions, bed holds, and emergency room transfers.
- MemorialCare Health System implemented an online data management tool that eliminated 415 unneeded process steps. This led to 57,000 saved hours, a $775 reduction in direct variable costs per discharge, and an additional $8.5 million saved annually.
- The US Department of Veterans Affairs implements AI-enhanced software for EHR management, telehealth, speech recognition, and reimbursement verification. These solutions increase hospital revenue by automating administrative tasks and enhancing the quality of care.
At Techstack, we have also developed multiple healthcare software products that have improved financial outcomes.
We designed an advanced web application that allows healthcare professionals and patients to manage medical records from any device. Our team utilized a sophisticated technology stack to enable real-time high-volume patient data processing. The solution tracks device usage and sends alerts when readings indicate potential patient danger, enhancing patient safety. We made sure the software could generate comprehensive reports with essential clinical and billing information.
