MUSE Views

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more popular in healthcare, and we hear how MEDITECH highlighted AI initiatives at the recent HIMSS conference. Rachel shares the details of their keynote presentation and customers’ successes. Learn how ancillary departments are using the search and summarization tools, and about some of the favorite use cases for this Google integration. We discuss the infrastructure and prerequisites that are required for this solution. Alex shares more specific considerations for sites to start an AI journey, especially true use cases for AI such as documentation support for both nursing and providers via ambient listening. MEDITECH is taking a responsible approach to AI integration with the goal of supporting providers and users. And know that MEDITECH will offer numerous related presentations at the upcoming 2024 MUSE Inspire Conference.

Dr. Janowski discusses his path into medicine and the IT world. He provides an overview of his large organization, their EHR rollout, and future initiatives. Learn how governance structures and organizational support have fostered success. Although we hear how making mistakes is often how you learn – and continue to improve. Dr. Janowski outlines some of the big wins (sepsis) they have experienced since uniting under one Expanse system. And hear about training and support strategies – and the importance of peer-to-peer interactions. Plus, what are the Blue Hens? Go Blue Hens!

Mike Ward discusses his facility and the composition of his IT team – and preparedness for a downtime. There was an incident where his facility was down for 18 hours – and a neighboring hospital was down several days – and what they learned from that experience. Mike notes that we have been reliant on electronics for so long that some staff have never used paper or experienced a downtime.

Learn about some of the tools used, and about the downtime readiness committee that was formed to better manage potential downtime situations.

Also, Mike plans to attend the upcoming MAKIN-IT Community Peer Group in Missouri.
