As U.S. veterans, many of whom live in rural areas, age, Kent Dicks, CEO of Life365, says that virtual care programs using AI, predictive analytics and real-time health monitoring can help keep them healthier in their homes.

According to Scott Mattila, COO at Intraprise Health, healthcare leaders seeking to build a strong cybersecurity framework may want to incorporate AI-powered real-time scanning and evaluation.

Shawn Weldin, IT director of Sabetha Community Hospital and Changemaker Award recipient, recommends that executives at rural hospitals work with vendors to implement new tools at a scale suitable for their size.

While the First Databank's tool already delivers EHR-based clinical decision support, it now offers more personalized guidance when lab results reveal a medication-related problem, says Virginia Halsey, the company's SVP of strategy.

Elsie Gori, nursing informatics specialist at Lone Star Communications, talks about how joining HIMSS as a graduate student in need of a scholarship led her to advocate for rural health equity.

David Lareau, Medicomp Systems' CEO and president, says 8% to 10% of AI-captured information from complex encounters may be incorrect, but that the company's tool can flag these issues for clinicians to review.

Tom Leary, HIMSS SVP and head of government relations, details four key areas HIMSS is focused on this year: AI, cybersecurity, digital health transformation and workforce development.  

The Virtual Health Hub is working with local leaders to provide Indigenous Canadian communities with culturally sensitive care while honoring their data sovereignty principles, according to director Ivar Mendez.  

Angie Cox, CEO and founder of Nautilus Solutions, talks about how AI technology can mask loud alert sounds in hospitals to relieve nurses' alarm fatigue and may soon be able to help with medication management and reconciliation.

When it comes to claims review, AI allows things to be done much faster than humans with less errors, says Christine Stetler, AVP of Solution Engineering at MedeAnalytics.
