"Hospitals are using AI and machine learning in various ways. For
example, hospitals use CIAs [contextually intelligent agents] to help
manage post-acute care and avoid readmissions. Since CIAs are
interactive and learn the communication styles of patients, crucial care
information—such as reminders to attend an appointment or take
medication—is delivered to them in a manner they are comfortable with.
CIAs can even provide encouragement to patients.” - Andrew Driver, Chief Technology Officer, NXP Data Services. |

"Discharge from a
heart failure hospitalization is followed by a readmission within 30
days in 24% of cases. Recurrent heart failure and related cardiovascular
conditions account for only about half of readmissions in patients with
heart failure, whereas other comorbid conditions account for the rest." Excerpted from: Readmissions News, Volume 6, Number 12, December 2017, "Catching Up With...Anton Cizek, MD." |
