The ability to give clinicians and care teams the right tools - integrated into their workflows and evidence-based - has a direct correlation not just with improved quality and outcomes, but better patient experience. These care tools can result in large amounts of data although much of it is retrospective. To truly optimize clinical decision-making, healthcare organizations need insights across a patient population. By leveraging these aggregated real-time insights during the patient care journey, providers can make more informed decisions that lead to better patient outcomes. In this podcast, we'll speak with clinical informatics leaders and patient engagement experts about how data analytics and technology can be used to enhance clinical decision-making, optimize care delivery, and improve patient experience across the healthcare organization. We will discuss the next steps in CDS analytics and how to ensure that the medical information delivered through these technologies is accurate and reliable.

The Emergency Department is perhaps the singular environment in a hospital where the greatest concentration of decisions are made with the least amount of clinical data; and the acuity-level assigned at triage can massively impact the trajectory of care for apatient. Additionally, Emergency Departments in the United States have experiencedunprecedented levels of crowding over the last two decades, with correlation to worsened patient outcomes, preventable errors, and staff burnout.In 2017, the ED at Johns Hopkins deployed a CDS tool that leverages AI to generaterisk-driven triage acuity recommendations, instead of relying on resource-based ESI. The tool has provided more reliable detection of patients with critical illness and reduced the time patients wait for care. They’ve also seen marked decrease in those assigned to the mid-acuity level 3, and instead more utilization of the low-acuity levels 4 and 5, which lends to better fast-track throughput for those patients who are to be discharged.Jeremiah Hinson, MD PhD, will speak of his experience developing and utilizing the toolwith his team at Johns Hopkins.

Pharma & Healthtech partnerships have great potential. But delivering on thesepartnerships brings hurdles and challenges. From misaligned expectations to differences in culture and communication, it can be hard for the two worlds to find effective collaboration. Hear from Ameya Phadke, PhD. Patients Non-Pharma Solutions Leader at Chiesi Pharmaceuticals and Dennis Hermann, Head of Europe at Kaia Health discuss their partnership, as well as Dan Weinstein, Associate Principal at ZS Associates describe broader trends.

The mandate could have a detrimental effect on providers who can’t meet staffing levels, says Lee Hudson Teslik, founder and CEO of Reverence.

Clinical decision support is needed to handle the avalanche of data and to advance value-based care, says Yaw Fellin, VP of Products and Solutions for Wolters Kluwer Health’s Clinical Effectiveness team.
