Healthcare IT Today Interviews

Ambient note-taking scribes have achieved such successes—according to Mustafa Ammar, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Ampla Health—that the first question from doctors interviewing for jobs at his federally qualified health center is whether they offer a scribe. Luckily, they do: Sunoh.ai.
Burnout is often on the top of doctors' and their managers' minds. And Sunoh.ai definitely delivered results here. Doctors report that they are going home on time and avoiding the need to spend their personat time writing notes, even though they are seeing more patients than before. The notes are also closed within 48 hours, which is important for billing.

Hospitals are sitting on hundreds of hours of unwatched surgical video. Residents and attendings simply do not have the time to review it together. The footage sits on thumb drives and gathers dust.
Dr. Chloe Nobuhara is a general surgery resident at Stanford. She sat down with Healthcare IT Today to discuss a new AI application built specifically for laparoscopic surgery. This tool watches the footage and analyzes surgeon performance. It automatically chunks the operation into distinct steps. Viewers will learn why generic large language models fail in the operating room. You will discover how a highly specific model gives educators their time back and helps surgeons master complex skills.

In a recent video interview, Brian Yavorsky, CTO at Imagenet, discusses how the company helps payers use AI and other data technologies to achieve efficiencies. Emphasizing the difficulties in getting skilled staff, Yavorsky says that automation can reduce labor not by removing people, but by automating areas that are difficult to staff.  Plus, by automating the mundane tasks you allow staff to work on higher value tasks that they enjoy more.
Many payers are burdened with legacy systems and workflows, especially after acquiring other companies. Although the systems work individually, the fragmentation in systems and data introduces inefficiencies and requires more manual work, which adds to costs and slows payer responses. Organizations that don't address this fragmentation suffer from inefficient processes and often can't benefit from new AI technologies.

The Financial Math of Value-Based Care Fails + How TPMG Cracked the Code
Value-based care is the goal for everyone. Achieving it in a financially sustainable way is a completely different story. Most independent groups struggle to align their technology and processes with risk contracts without drowning in overhead.

We discussed how his independent medical group maximizes the eClinicalWorks platform to make value-based care actually work. You will learn how they made smart decisions and made organizational changes to capture new revenue streams, automate patient outreach, and eliminate the quality reporting slog.
