Many new tech solutions, such as wearables and algorithms, have emerged in recent years to address the country’s heart disease problem. While it’s easy to get excited about technology’s potential to improve cardiac care, there are a few things that healthcare leaders must keep in mind, according to Dr. Sumeet Chugh, director of the Heart Institute and director of AI in medicine at Cedars-Sinai.
Knowing that many tech solutions end up being not as effective as health systems would have hoped, two health system executives gave examples of tools they believe have made a significant impact on staffing issues at their organizations. One is a wearable patch that continuously monitors inpatients’ vital signs, and one is a platform that allows providers to fill open shifts with local nurses.
A new Accenture report laid out considerations that hospitals should keep in mind as they adopt new technology aimed at improving nurse retention. Some of the report’s key recommendations for providers were to build a strong, cloud-based technology infrastructure and to involve nurses early on in the process of adopting a new digital tool.
MedCity News connected with Integra Connect's COO, Cory Wiegert at ViVE 2023 to discuss how their new platform will go beyond the "one size fits all" approach to data curation.
