Send us a text In this episode of This Week In Health Tech, Vik Patel welcomes Mark Farrow , a CIO veteran with experience of leading IT teams at large academic health systems and also community health system. This episode is very in-depth real world discussions about data challenges, AI governance and interoperability in healthcare. Mark starts out sharing his background and how he got started working in a hospital. Vik and Mark talk about data challenge in health systems, starting with challenge of making sense of the big data. Mark makes a comment that health systems are "data rich and knowledge poor", which really describes the big data current situation in most health systems. Vik and Mark then share that not everyone maybe aware that faxing is still very much active in health system communication. That shows that we still have much to do for interoperability. There are still many point to point interfaces and in this case using Faxing. Vik asks the question to Mark if EHRs have a role to play in how the data is being collected but the usage of data and sharing is still a challenge. Mark and Vik then discuss strategy of AI, and how quality of life should drive the decision making. Mark thinks AI should really help unlock the power of data that is in the EHRs and all the clinical applications. Mark also provides real-world examples of how AI can help unlock data for clinical and operational decision making and help improve patient outcomes. Both then dive into the risks related to adopting AI solutions and how to overcome some of these challenges using governance and appropriate resources like data scientists on the team.

Future-Forward Healthcare Digital Engagement: Kevin Smith's Insights on AI Strategies and Life Beyond Google Analytics 43:32

1 year önce43:32

Send us a text In this episode of This Week in Health Tech episode, Vik welcomes Kevin Smith, AVP, Digital Health, Baptist Health. We focus on impact of AI in healthcare marketing. We start out talking about future AI phones and Google, Search Generative Experience SGE. Kevin provides some background of Baptist Health digital properties and how sites were amalgamated from every hospital having their own sites to centrally managed digital websites and apps. Vik and Kevin then dig into the HHS's highlighting concern last year for using Google Analytics for analytics since the information collected could be in violation of HIPAA. We discuss the impact of removing Google Analytics and how not having any tracking technologies is a huge gap and provides no insights into how the users are using the websites. Kevin also provides some options that they are looking into to replace Google Analytics. Then Kevin and Vik dig into how AI can be used in digital marketing starting with using AI in generating content, images, videos. Kevin also brings up AI policies and if there is a need to disclose use of AI and how do you do that. Maybe using content generation with AI won't work because it may not match the organization or the locality branding. Many times it is easy to see when content is AI generated because AI uses certain terms more than usual and does not seem natural. Vik and Kevin then discuss AI chatbots and is this something that could be used on a healthcare site? They discuss the pitfalls of AI chatbot and how the responses are not always trustable. Also what about sharing information with AI solutions and integration from EHR or other sources into the AI solutions. Kevin then lastly shares a tip for listeners that he has incorporated with his team. They have instituted some brainstorming time once a month that allows the team to use the time away from meetings to think of best use cases for AI, collaborate on these ideas. Hopefully a reset time for the team to come up with enhancements for existing and potentially new solutions.

Send us a text In this episode of This Week in Health Tech podcast, we welcome Barry Wallace, digital communications specialist at East Tennessee Children's Hospital. We start out by discussing a marketing / digital communications team structure and then content generation. Vik and Barry discuss if ChatGPT AI tools help with content generation. AI could give a starting point but at this point that is what it is, get ideas but not necessarily use AI for generating and publishing content without review. There is also legitimate concern because generative AI creates is not always accurate and it is called hallucination. Also AI may not represent the voice of that specific health system or marketing department. Barry and Vik then chat about social media and focus on Facebook, X formerly Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. They chat about the best strategy for content on each of these platforms. Facebook still seems to be the #1 platform for their community reach. Vik then brings up Digital Transformation in healthcare and how ETCH health system is handling this.

Send us a text In this episode of This Week in Health Tech, we welcome Johnathan Klaus to cohost the episode. John is an experienced nurse and has worked in large academic medical center for many years in the cardiac department. He brings wealth of clinical knowledge to the team and we welcome him to cohost the podcast. Jimmy Kim is obviously still around and will be returning soon. In this episode we focus on freeing up clinical staff from diagnosing and reporting system issues to focus on patients. This is a common scenario in health systems where clinical staff are required to not only pay attention to their patients, but also deal w/ system - application issues daily. It is such a common thing that many departments have come up with their own daily manual checks and manual checklist to diagnose issues and call the right vendor or helpdesk. This is a loss of productivity and also affects patient care. How do we avoid this? Listen to this episode to find how technical solutions can help w/ monitoring, detection, investigation, and remediation in a timely manner. Music by AudioCoffee from Pixabay . Tido Inc.

Assure smooth operations for clinicians using applications & integration monitoring technology 26:27

3 years önce26:27

Send us a text Vik and Jimmy focus on digital health and end-to-end monitoring of applications in this episode of This Week in Health Tech. Vik talks about strategy for digital transformation: managing digital apps, integrating digital apps, and supporting digital apps on an ongoing basis. Vik also mentions that healthcare organizations have requested not only automated monitoring but also 24/7 support to go along with the monitoring subscription. Jimmy inquires about the 24/7 support and if it is actually supported by human support staff. Vik confirms that support is actual trained application and integration support team. But the support team is kept updated proactively about any issues using automated end-to-end monitoring. The automated monitoring is not true AI, but it is still using algorithms that are tweaked constantly by the monitoring team to enhance the solution and trigger notifications for issues without relying on users. Jimmy asks what would stop an organization from getting this end to end monitoring solution? Is it budget, processes, etc? Vik answers that all CIOs he has discussed this solution agree that it would really help the organization and keep IT helpdesk informed of issues proactively. But the main obstacle from purchasing this is budget and justifying such a new solution versus the more traditional projects that are on the books. Even though it is quite evident that the solution has huge ROI benefits by not relying on clinical professionals having to deal w/ issues. However most organization do not keep track of how much time clinicians spend on dealing w/ issues, so the actual calculation of ROI is based on estimates. This is where it becomes a bit of a struggle for CIOs to justify purchasing this solution to the healthcare CFO. Again, healthcare will adopt automated applications monitoring just like security and infrastructure monitoring, but it may take some time as it always done in healthcare.

Healthcare Uninterrupted 37:32

Send us a text In this episode of This Week in Health Tech, Vik and Jimmy focus on keeping healthcare uninterrupted: 24/7 end to end monitoring of applications and integration between applications. Vik and Jimmy start out with discussing working from home and hybrid working. Because of digital transformation and increasing number of mobile and web applications, it is becoming a bigger challenge for healthcare organizations to stay on top of desktop, web, and mobile application issues. Relying on manual reporting of issues is going to become an even bigger problem. Vik provides example of how issues in production environment impact patient care by discussing registration information flow from EHR to downstream applications. There are multiple points where there could be point of failure, end users may not get the right information at the right time. Helpdesk has limited knowledge of applications and they deal with a lot of access issues. and it is not practical for helpdesk team to understand every application and its functionality. Jimmy and Vik then discuss an example in ER, where technical application or integration issues may have a huge impact on patient outcomes. Manual monitoring is impossible in a healthcare environment to keep track of all the integrations and application functionality. Tido's end to end monitoring technology is constantly monitoring all applications and integrations to avoid reliance on manual intervention. Vik talks about the advantages of automated 24/7 end-to-end applications and integration monitoring and shares the experiences of using this technology at healthcare organizations. Jimmy asks about digital transformation impact on this applications monitoring. Vik indicates that digital transformation will have huge impact on how applications and interfaces are being monitored because organizations are adding mobile and web applications at an expedited rate. Healthcare organizations are also figuring out their digital transformation and app management strategy, which maybe a discussion point for another episode. Continuing to rely on manual reporting of issues is a risk that is going to become bigger as more and more applications are added to the mix. Vik thinks one of the main reason healthcare organizations are not using automated end-to-end applications and integration monitoring and keep relying on manual intervention because that is the status quo and that is how we have been doing it. Just because it has been done this way does not mean it is the right way of diagnosing and reporting issues. Vik talks about automated notifications and how the monitoring solution plugs into heldesk software and integration w/ Microsoft Teams to keep helpdesk team informed about application and integration issues.

How To Implement Test Automation in Health Care || Part 1: Website Testing || Encore Presentation 42:48

3 years önce42:48

42:48

Send us a text For the month of May, Vik and Jimmy are focusing on Healthcare Web, Mobile, EHR Testing and Test Automation. In this part 1 episode, they focus on healthcare web properties testing and test automation strategies and implementation. Vik starts with the basics and defining testing and test automation and testing reality in healthcare. Testing is underrated and not something organizations think about but it should be a top priority, especially in these times when more and more online applications are used by patients and providers. Typically regression testing is missing because there are never enough test / qa resources in an organization. So there is limited testing in reality. Performance testing is usually not done and could be a potential user satisfaction issue if the website cannot handle web traffic, for example, a COVID scheduling or registration web application. Jimmy asks who is involved in website management at a healthcare organization. Vik explains that it is a combination of marketing and IT departments. Sometimes the roles are clear but usually, IT provides development resources, either in-house or outsourced. The marketing team in many cases is expected to do testing and user acceptance testing. Vik then explains the different categories of testing: Continuous, Automated, and Live Testing. Continuous testing is where testing is utilized at every stage of development. When test script development is complete, then those scripts can be used for automated testing against hundreds of combinations of devices and browsers. Live testing is used by QA staff to test websites on real devices which are running in the cloud. Vik and Jimmy then use a real-life example of a COVID registration web application to discuss the different types of web application testing. Vik explains how the selenium test framework is utilized for test automation. Test scripts are written in any of the major programming languages: Java, Python, C#, Ruby, Kotlin, etc. He also explains how this automation works with a real device cloud to test the scripts against hundreds of combinations of devices and browsers. Jimmy and Vik then talk about types of testing: Functional, Compatibility, and Performance testing. They go into briefly about upcoming mobile and EHR testing in the next episodes of This Week in Health Tech.
