A Look at Sunoh ’ s Ambient Clinical Voice Solutions Including New EHR Integrations
One of the hottest topics in healthcare and particularly at the HIMSS 2024 conference is ambient clinical voice. We haven’t seen this much universal interest in a health IT product since the government offered $36 billion in stimulus money for EHR software. However, this feels very different since healthcare organizations are evaluating ambient clinical voice solutions on their merit versus chasing government money. They’re doing this because the benefits of this technology are so impactful on doctors and patients.
While at the conference, I had a chance to sit down with Saurabh Singh, VP of Sunoh.ai, and...

What could we do if GLP-1 weight loss drugs were free? Would our obesity epidemic be solved for good?
By CECI CONNOLY and SAMI INKINEN
Unless you have been living under a rock, you likely have heard the names Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro. Or perhaps been humming the jingle. Rarely has a class of drugs (in this case, GLP-1s) achieved such widespread attention in popular culture and the media, which has people clamoring for them in every doctor’s office in the nation.
And for good reason. What we know is that the efficacy and safety profile of these medications is substantially better than any weight loss drug in the past, while our obesity epidemic has only ballooned. As organizations committed to sound science and h...

Unlocking the Power of Interoperability for Revenue Cycle Management
Interoperability is game-changing not just in a clinical setting, but it holds tremendous potential for healthcare’s financial stakeholders as well. A seamless transfer of data in the revenue cycle process results in optimal reimbursement, reduced administrative costs, and fewer surprises for patients.
Healthcare IT Today sat down with Juli Forde Smith, Director of Strategic Partnerships at ZOLL Data Systems and Erica Gregory, Senior Vice President at Netsmart to discuss interoperability for revenue cycle management (RCM).

The Next Generation Of Medical AI: Exploring Safe and Accurate Innovation In Healthcare
In recent years, natural language processing (NLP) has emerged as a promising tool, powering algorithms for decoding complex medical language. The technology enables users to extract information from patient records and rapidly assess disease progression, treatment efficacy, health trends, and other use cases.
Despite its initial promise, NLP has fallen short of expectations in healthcare. Dr. Tim O’Connell, a practicing physician and cofounder of the medical AI company emtelligent, compares healthcare NLP to fusion energy. “It’s been 10 years away for the past 50 years,” O’Connell says.

Using ChatGPT Offline: How Small Language Models Can Aid Healthcare Professionals
By now, you might have come across the term large language models (LLMs), which is a type of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). If not, you have likely encountered GenAI applications that are based on LLMs. This includes the likes of ChatGPT, Google Bard and Microsoft Copilot. While such models have proved useful, in the healthcare setting, they come with new sets of regulatory, ethical and privacy concerns.
Recently, another type of language model has been gaining attention in the GenAI field: the small language model (SLM). It even holds the promise of addressing some of the challenges with integrating LLMs i...

CIO Podcast – Episode 70: Chief Medical Information Officers with Donald Levick, MD
For the 70th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are talking to Donald Levick, MD, MBA, CPE, FAAP, FHIMSS, Consultant, Former CMIO and Pediatrician at Lehigh Valley Health Network about the role of Chief Medical Information Officers (CMIOs)! So to kick this episode off, we are taking a look at the shrinking margins and increasing demands in healthcare to discuss how CMIOs can respond to them. Then we debate who is the correct person for CMIOs to report to. Next, we go over what we believe should be the primary roles for CMIOs.
