Hospital aims at eliminating adverse events and develop aggressive treatment plans via putting data insights right into clinician workflow. Ochsner Health System has recently launched a new AI and cloud tech from Microsoft and Epic Systems to offer better care to all its patients.
The main goal behind this is to eliminate the adverse events before they actually happen. It will send critical cues to the relevant Ochsner care teams in real time.
Oschner, a healthcare system that operates around 30 hospitals and a further 80 healthcare centers and urgentcare centers in Louisiana has announced that said the Microsoft and Epic technologies, when utilized together, can allow predictive models to assist its Rapid Response Team to become even proactive than reactive.
Ochsner CIO Laura Wilt said, “By utilizing Epic’s machine learning platform and Microsoft Azure, we can detect health patterns, learn from these insights and develop a more aggressive treatment plan as a preventative measure.”
The system has made this announcement after a 90-day pilot was successfully completed. In it the company observed that its team reduced the adverse events outside the Intensive Care Unit by a staggering 44 percent.
Epic’s Director of Analytics and Machine Learning Seth Hain states that physicians, engineers and data scientists are working hand in hand to deliver such valuable insights into the practitioners workflow. And Microsoft Corporate Vice President of Cloud AI Joseph Sirosh further added that the amazing amalgamation of three high ranking organizations was driving more precise care.
“Cloud and AI technologies are helping health organizations around the world deliver better outcomes for patients,” Sirosh said.
To that end, Ochsner executives are of the view that AI-powered capabilities are actually the core of the methodology utilizing which the healthcare system intends to harness contemporary technologies to treat patients in the future.
