A White Paper by MCOL Sponsored by LexisNexis® Risk Solutions

"When I left private practice and started in the informatics area, there was no training or ways to learn other than on the job. Now, there are many good healthcare informatics programs available. In addition, I tell younger colleagues to have some clinical experience before they enter the business side of medicine. Having the knowledge of direct patient care has helped me understand the data and what is or isn’t done in real-life practice. This knowledge has also been foundational in helping me create many of the software tools my partners can use to deliver better care management programs."
- Russell D. Robbins MD, MBA, AVP Clinical Informatics & Medical Director at Blue Health Intelligence (BHI).

According to an IDC White Paper sponsored by InterSystems, a survey of 200 hospitals in the U.S., UK, and Germany found that 50% of respondents have an AI framework in place; the remaining respondents will be online within 24 months. Current AI use cases in the healthcare industry range from improving data quality (35%), reading images to assist in diagnosis (30%), and early identification of hospital acquired infections (30%).
