A.I. Revolutionizes Healthcare: Fighting Doctor Burnout with Technology

Doctors and medical professionals are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to save time and combat burnout. Microsoft's Nuance division has developed DAX Express, an AI-powered clinical documentation app that creates accurate and concise doctor's notes instantly. During a simulated doctor's appointment, the app recorded the interaction and generated a full medical documentation within a minute, focusing on pertinent medical issues. Patients find it refreshing to talk to a doctor who isn't typing into a computer, and the technology has the potential to relieve physicians and their staff from administrative burdens.

VA sets tougher terms for EHR vendor contracts after past failures.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has renewed its multibillion-dollar contract for a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) with Oracle-Cerner, with new terms meant to hold the vendor accountable for persistent outages. The renegotiated contract includes larger fines Oracle-Cerner will need to pay VA if the EHR doesn’t meet performance targets. The new contract includes 28 performance metrics for Oracle-Cerner to meet or exceed and includes a higher standard for reliability and uptime. The VA has obligated about $9.4 billion on the EHR modernization program since fiscal 2018.

Federal Agencies Halt Troubled Rollouts of Health and Delivery Systems

The Department of Veterans Affairs has paused all future deployments of its new Electronic Health Record (EHR) until it addresses problems at sites already using the system, as part of a "larger program reset." The VA Secretary said the Oracle-Cerner EHR is not yet meeting expectations, and the agency is holding the vendor and itself accountable to get it right. The VA won't move ahead with new EHR go-lives until the system shows "measurable improvements" at the five sites already using it. The VA's "program reset" marks the agency's third prolonged pause in the troubled Oracle-Cerner rollout.
