Dr. Bernard Schayes, a doctor from Up-to-date York in private practice with IPA Mount Sinai and Northwell Health IPA, struggled with the challenges related to taking care of value -based care.
Challenge
Ensuring that patients were up to date with the necessary tests – such as a colonoscope, mammograms, annual physics, diabetes and cholesterol examinations, PAP research for younger patients and examination of depression – was a constant challenge.
Too often, patients missed these critical controls due to lack of reminders, planning difficulties or barriers related to social health determinants.
“Manual coordination of this care was time consuming and inefficient,” said Schayes. “Our team had to track patients, send reminders and often observe-often with restricted success. We also wanted to deal with SDOH factors, but without an improved system, locking gaps persist in patients and hindering the achievement of the objectives of care based on value.
APPLICATION
Schayes turned to the technology of coordinating the care of artificial intelligence to assist fill these gaps, automating the range, improving patients’ involvement and providing more polished coordination. This technology allowed Schayes and his team, more focusing on patient care than at administrative burdens.
“AI technology collects important historical data, including laboratory results, x-rays and healthcare meetings,” he explained. “He browses medical documentation and family history, at the same time using predictive analyzes to increase patients’ results. This approach enables and improves personalized care adapted to each person, while leaving all final decisions at the doctor.”
Fulfillment of the challenge
“AI technology has appeared except my EHR, because it can only read files and not save them,” he said. “AI extracted the patient’s record and distinguished useful data sets.”
Schayes said that the best way to explain is an example.
“We know if the patient has albumin in urine, is exposed to a high risk of developing kidney failure in the future,” he explained. “Early intervening can be prevented by dialysis. This applies to the level of cholesterol, blood sugar (A1C) and many other data points.
“Therefore, it is necessary to find or at least identify those who are possible as possible as soon as possible,” he continued. “It is here that AI can be necessary because they can find these trends early, much faster than a human can.”
He added that AI can also read and interpret trends in an predictive ECG to prevent cardiovascular diseases much faster and better than human, if he has clearly defined parameters. In this way, he can save a healthcare system of millions of dollars a year, while allowing doctors more proactive without increasing their severe burdens, he said.
RESULTS
In the case of Schayes, AI helped in limiting significant care gaps with the effective apply of staff resources. This was achieved because AI identified locking gaps – with the consent of Schayes – and gave the staff the option to send E -Mail, E -Mail or telephone messages. This informed that this resulted in the closure of the care gaps in the effective, producing work flow.
Tips for others
“AI technology can potentially improve patient care, remove tedious work for suppliers, and ultimately improve health results in the field of population health,” said Schayes. “With its assist, there will be a coincidence between the data and the predictive analysis, and as a result the provider’s care provision will improve the patient’s results.
“My work flow has changed since the employment of AI,” he continued. “I record my patient’s meetings in real time, with the patient’s consent. I have a large microphone that patients can see full transparency. Platform AI records a visit and can ignore uncertain problems.”
He added that this is a very good job, recording positive history, positive physical results and life signs.
“The most important thing is that I decide on the final diagnosis,” he noted. “Then AI generates a full visit note and is much more correct in entering the correct codes, saving hours of tedious writing and entering data.
“AI places earlier data in easily accessible mode, and its predictive analytical capabilities will continue to improve,” he concluded. “We are at the beginning of a significant improvement in the health of the population.”
