Health Systems Champion Small Wins for Medication Management Within Their EHRs
Home runs are exciting, but they’re not the only way to win a baseball game. Similarly, when it comes to AI in healthcare, dramatic advancements get a lot of attention, but they’re not the only way to improve efficiency.
“AI or any informatics intervention doesn’t need to be a swing-for-the-fences home run. The bigger bang for your buck is automating the thing that happens 1,000 times a day and doing it in a highly reliable and safe manner,” said Colin Banas, M.D., M.H.A., Chief Medical Officer at DrFirst. “It’s OK to hit singles. I’d rather hit a whole bunch of singles than keep swinging for the fences and miss.”
In a recent webinar, Dr. Banas invited leaders from two health systems using DrFirst’s solutions in their Epic electronic health record (EHR) systems to share some examples of base hits that collectively led to grand slams.
Both Ochsner Health and Emory Healthcare have been using clinical-grade AI to reduce clicks, improve efficiency, and boost provider satisfaction, according to their team stats.
According to Jason Hill, M.D., M.M.M., Ochsner’s Chief Innovation Officer, incomplete medication history data was a big problem.
