Fownd is a young company creating an ambient voice recording solution to document evaluations, assessments, and plans for physical therapists. Visits, workflows, terminology, and conversations in general are different in PT than in the physician settings most ambient voice solutions are designed for. Fownd, which has many physical therapists on its team, is designing its solution with every aspect of the PT's needs in mind.

In this video, Co-Founder Christina Rama explains that PTs are a second thought in other ambient solutions. Companies that focus on automating clinical documentation start with physicians and cover PT as an add-on. Correspondingly, EHRs for PT incorporate AI and documentation support as an add-on. Fownd's focus make it uniquely valuable.

Staffing at health care providers, especially for IT, is being challenged on many fronts. Inflation is up while Medicaid has been significantly cut. New technologies such as AI call for new types of staffing with new skills, which are rare and in high demand. Scarce staff are being won away by competing institutions.

This video covers key issues in finding staff, including the use of what Ray Lowe, Senior Vice President and CIO at AltaMed, calls the "digital workforce" of chatbots, etc. Lowe shares the stage with Bill Grana, CEO at IT services provider HCTec, which is used by AltaMed to help optimize staffing.

Ever wonder why EHRs seem stuck in the past—built for billing, patched with add-ons, and painful for clinicians? Oracle Health has taken a different route.

In this interview, Seema Verma, EVP and General Manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, explains why the company rebuilt its EHR from the ground up.
