AI in Healthcare: Improving Patient Outcomes
According to Steven Buslovich, M.D., CMD, MS, chief medical officer of senior care at PointClickCare, AI plays a crucial role in managing patient transitions between care settings.
If you think about the weakest link in their health care ecosystem, it's usually when an individual patient transitions from one care setting to another.
Buslovich explains that AI can improve patient outcomes by summarizing data and predicting readmission risk. This is particularly important in healthcare settings where communication gaps exist, and AI technologies can help caregivers summarize information in a cohesive way.
