Practices: Focus More on Patient Relationships and Less on Management

A data lake stores both structured and unstructured data without

Why Artificial Intelligence Should Augment Patient Care, Not Replace IT

Skeptics about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare are running out of reasons to be doubtful.AI, in fact, is already revolutionizing several areas of medicine.
