Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a critical tool to enhance patient care at the intersection of healthcare and technology. e-health technologysays a player in this field. New software powered by AI Reduce delays often encountered in patient care due to the tedious process of medical history management.
“One of the biggest delays in treatment is caused by the time it takes to collect, organize, and provide a medical history.” Dan Torrens, CEO of eHealth Technologies, said in an interview with PYMNTS. He noted that this delay could result in important initial appointments being postponed by days or weeks, impacting the delivery of timely and potentially life-changing treatment. .
Connecting patients and doctors
The company’s response to medical administration challenges is eHealth Connect, a technology platform designed to speed the treatment process by streamlining access to patient history. Medical professionals report that having a comprehensive patient history at their disposal allows them to provide faster treatment. Increased speed and quality of care results from improved communication between doctors and patients facilitated by complete and organized patient information.
However, the integration of AI into healthcare systems is not without challenges. eHealth Technologies face several hurdles, including collecting and organizing data from a variety of sources and ensuring a comprehensive medical history is provided in a format that clinicians can use.
“Once records, test results, and images are collected, administrators and clinicians face the daunting task of sifting through, integrating, and organizing a myriad of patient information by specialty requirements. ” Torrens said. “This administrative burden wastes valuable time and further delays treatment. eHealth Connect organizes everything and provides a clinically organized patient history by physician or specialty. Whether it’s oncology, transplantation, cardiology, neurology or other specialties, our technology addresses your requirements and clinical workflows.”
eHealth Connect leverages AI to efficiently navigate and retrieve critical patient data from a variety of sources, including information vendor releases, health information exchanges, and national networks. The platform also organizes data according to the specific needs of different medical specialties and supports effective clinical workflows.
The security and accuracy of patient data is of paramount importance, especially in the context of AI applications in healthcare. eHealth Technologies emphasizes its commitment to data protection and is HiTrust, HIPAA, and SOC 2 (Type 2 Certification) certified.
AI and healthcare
Looking forward, Torrens said eHealth Technologies continues to explore ways AI and medical interoperability can further reduce the time from referral to treatment. Future enhancements include the ability to request records directly through the electronic medical record system and improved integration of comprehensive medical history into clinical workflows.
“These new capabilities will continue to reduce administrative time for clinicians and administrators, giving them more time to engage with patients, leading to improved patient experiences and patient outcomes,” said Torrens.
