How AI Improves Documentation and Quality Care in Pediatric and Acute Care Settings

Date: Thursday, February 20, 2020
Time: 01:00 - 02:00 PM EDT
Duration: 1 hour

Different care settings present unique challenges. In pediatric populations, clinical indicators within the population vary widely depending on the child’s age and developmental stage. Further complicating matters, the guidelines are complex and often subject to discretionary acceptance. In acute hospitals, consistently achieving the types of improvements necessary for value-based care requires a new approach.

In this session, speakers will demonstrate the ways in which AI integrates in workflow to capture appropriate documentation at the point-of-care to guide providers on diagnoses that can automatically query, clarify, document in the medical record to facilitate coding, quality scoring, and accurate clinical communication.
