The Role of Technology in Improving Healthcare Systems
Inserting new technology into the U.S. healthcare system has the potential to remake every facet – from personalized medicine to disease surveillance and response, fraud detection to operational efficiencies.
It is a challenging process; legacy technologies that never were designed to be integrated into the larger system, data silos, compliance requirements such as HIPAA, and cybersecurity risks all need to be addressed and modernized. Using hybrid IT architectures and implementing AI and machine learning that incorporate on-premise and cloud environments hold the key to greater efficiencies and better patient outcomes.
Learning Objecitives:
- Identify specific federal healthcare challenges and prospective solutions to address them
- Delineate opportunities for AI and data analytics to incorporate multiple sources of information to find innovative insights into long-standing public health challenges
- Outline metrics designed to quantify changes in healthcare system performance and patient outcomes
