An Intelligent Cloud For Healthcare & Hospital Operations

Written by UBIX | Oct 29, 2024 3:15:00 PM

The timing of a single decision in healthcare & hospital operations can literally mean the difference between life and death, compliance or regulatory penalty, and profitability or foreclosure. The sheer amount of data that needs to be processed, analyzed and acted upon daily is staggering for most industries, but double so for healthcare due to the direct impact on the life and well being of patients.

Compound that with the ever changing regulatory issues and compliance requirements and the impact of catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, fires and earthquakes and you have a recipe for chaos. The good news is that recent advancements in zero-code generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has made it possible to develop an intelligent cloud to improve outcomes and optimize care operations in a secure, cost-effective and scalable manner.

What is an intelligent cloud and why should healthcare professionals care?

Modernization of legacy applications has become a “need to have” for healthcare organizations looking to maintain their competitive standing and operational profitability. Instead of continuing down the path of proprietary solutions that require dedicated tools and resources, many are now evaluating an intelligent cloud solution that leverages new advancements in GenAI and reinforcement learning. Simply put, an intelligent cloud is a cloud computing platform that leverages to power of GenAI to enhance its capabilities and transform data into usable information accessible by the average person.

McKinsey & Company published an article titled “Tackling healthcare’s biggest burdens with generative AI” and projected that “Gen AI represents a meaningful new tool that can help unlock a piece of the unrealized $1 trillion of improvement potential present in the industry.”

Ultimately healthcare professionals are experts in their field and not usually comfortable with the rapid advancements in technology. So, having the ability for a healthcare professional to “converse” with a machine using natural language (NLP) to get the analytics they need to make better decisions and generate administrative documentation such as post-visit summaries, care coordination notes, changes in EMRs, dictations, and claim documentation.

Improving outcomes and optimizing care operations

A successful AI transformation/intelligent cloud project for healthcare & hospital operations will empower business leaders, physicians, and clinical staff to make better decisions without the need for specialized tools and resources. Some of the specific use cases include:

  • Patient Intake and Servicing Automation: Use GenAI to streamline patient intake and insurance coverage as well as synthesize clinical notes, medical and referral information for more personalized, precise treatment options and better health outcomes
  • Operational Prescriptive Analytics: Use GenAI to optimize interactions and automate processes such as payments, appointment management, and prescription refills as well as model future states based on market and patient conditions
  • Patient and Professional Risk and Retention: Use GenAI to autogenerate provider segmentation summaries by specialty, as well as summarize market performance and comparisons based on external resources and data to improve the quality of services
  • Clinical and Pharmacological Optimization: Use GenAI to reduce the burdens of administrative tasks, clinical trials and compliance requirements that take hours of time and lead to employee burnout

The good news is that you won’t have to wait months or even years to realize the benefits of an intelligent cloud for your healthcare organization. New developments in open-source, zero-code SaaS platforms mean that legacy system modernization projects can be tackled with a new technology stack that reduces dependencies on proprietary systems and the costs of dedicated tools and resources.

Why wait months when you can have a solution in days or even minutes?
