The Evolution of How Provider Organizations Share Data with Payers
It’s reasonable for a company like MRO to have a chief interoperability officer. According to their chief interoperability officer, Anthony Murray, the company has spent 22 years building tools to “exchange data seamlessly” in healthcare. This includes much of the healthcare data that’s been locked up in free text data in many healthcare systems.
In our interview with Murray below, he shares some of the main challenges that healthcare has with achieving interoperability in today’s environment. This includes an important focus area of MRO to be able to share data between providers and payers....

Sora And Healthcare: Revolutionising Healthcare With AI Video Generation
“Historical footage of California during the gold rush.” From this simple prompt, OpenAI’s new text-to-video model Sora could generate a 25-second footage of what one could at a glance indeed think is real footage from that era. While such abilities of the company’s new artificial intelligence model were demonstrated in videos, Sora is not currently publicly available.
Nevertheless, its potential to create videos from simple text is bound to have consequences for the film and advertising industries. This has also led us to contemplate its possible medical and healthcare implications when it will be publicly avai...

Discern Health Ties Interventions to Patient Improvements
Paulo Pinho, MD, Chief Medical and Strategy Officer at Discern Health, highlighted to us that analytics have to be explainable to be trusted. It’s not enough to show a correlation, but to demonstrate that the clinical intervention was responsible for the improved patient outcome. Patients as well as clinicians demand explainability (also known as transparency and accountability).
Ben Hsieh, Vice President of Product, says that Discern Health works with payers, providers, and Health Information Exchanges (HIE). Their service concentrates currently on care management for value-based care.

MediQuant Aims at “ One Patient, One Record ”
MediQuant has been providing health data management and active archiving since 1999. In this video, CEO Jim Jacobs describes how they seek “one patient, one record” so that providers have complete and accurate data for the patients they serve.
In addition to fulfilling organizational needs such as compliance and enhanced patient care, Jacobs believes that preserving data from legacy systems has wide-reaching benefits. For instance, one customer is using AI to process ten years’ worth of data to prove that a denial of treatment was unwarranted.
But providers struggle because many have more than a thousand systems hol...

Four Steps to Success in Implementing AI Within Healthcare Organizations
The following is a guest article by Ben Cushing, Chief Architect of Health and Life Sciences at Red Hat
Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing up in more healthcare contexts, from drug discovery to diagnostic imaging to robot-assisted surgery. But one area where AI can have a tremendous impact is in the reduction of provider burden.
For instance, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is exploring automated, AI-assisted documentation of patient visits with clinicians. The system records the conversation between clinician and patient, and then automatically produces a clinical note.
The AI system can apply accurate medic...

The Latest AI Craze: Ambient Scribing
By MATTHEW HOLT
Okay, I can’t do it any longer. As much as I tried to resist, it is time to write about ambient scribing. But I’m going to do it in a slightly odd way
If you have met me, you know that I have a strange English-American accent, and I speak in a garbled manner. Yet I’m using the inbuilt voice recognition that Google supplies to write this story now.
Side note: I dictated this whole thing on my phone while watching my kids water polo game, which has a fair amount of background noise. And I think you’ll be modestly amused about how terrible the original transcript was. But then...
