Balancing AI-Enhanced Automation in Healthcare Revenue Cycle

by John Hataway, Sr.Director of Continuous Improvement and Automation at Savista 09/08/2023 Leave a Comment

Balancing AI-Enhanced Automation in Healthcare Revenue Cycle

Typically, hearing the terms “Automation or AI” elicits one of two responses-- an immediate sense of apprehension and avoidance, or a complete overestimation of its capabilities, though in some cases those two responses go hand in hand. However, neither view is particularly helpful as one is trying to understand the tremendous power of this capability and employ it in appropriate places within their business.  The truth is, automation and AI are here and they’re here to stay. Though there are

Leveraging Personal Health Nurses to Connect the Dots Across the Care Continuum

Poorly managed chronic conditions—most of which are related to lifestyle—cost employers $36.4 billion each year in the form of absenteeism and poor productivity.

Coverage costs alone have increased by 47% over the previous ten years.  Research shows that at-risk employees can benefit from care management programs that help them better maintain their chronic conditions, while employers benefit from lower

Diabetes Management in 2023 and Beyond: A Tech-Enabled Partnership Between Patient and Doctor

While the pandemic has slowed, there appears to be no end in sight to the diabetes epidemic. The number of individuals diagnosed is projected to keep growing over the next decade. What’s more concerning is that 75% of patients don’t meet guideline-based goals for A1C, blood pressure, and cholesterol control. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious complications like heart disease, kidney failure, blindness, and even amputations.  Thankfully, more patients are embracing technology-based

Addressing Point-of-Care Ultrasound’s Shadow IT Problem

by Ketan Patel, Sr. Director of Security & Cloud Operations, Exo 09/05/2023 Leave a Comment

Addressing Point-of-Care Ultrasound’s Shadow IT Problem

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is taking hold across healthcare, and for good reason. By administering ultrasound technology at the point of care, whether that be the patient’s bedside or an ambulance, POCUS prevents patients from being sent to another facility for imaging or waiting for a radiologist. That, in turn, enables more efficient workflows and faster diagnoses and treatment.  Multiple studies, from The Nurse Practitioner and the Annals of Medicine and Surgery, identify POCUS

The Medical Library: A Hospital’s Most Underappreciated Asset

The impact of medical librarians is well-documented. In one experiment, a group of primary care providers had the opportunity to send clinical questions to a rapid-response medical librarian. They received their replies in an average of 14 minutes, and 86 percent were described as having a positive impact on care. Two studies indicated patient length of stay was reduced when clinicians requested medical library searches related to a patient's
