The future of #healthcare is being transformed by Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is empowering patients to take more control over their health. With the right tools and knowledge, patients can proactively manage their care, make data-driven decisions, and collaborate more effectively with health care providers. #AI will enable individuals to access real-time health data, receive personalized care, and benefit from predictive analytics that help detect health issues earlier, leading to better outcomes. At our recent AI to Advance Patient Safety Summit, Micky Tripathi with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) highlighted AI's potential to enhance patient safety and improve health care efficiency. By democratizing health care data and decision-making, AI is shifting the focus toward more patient-centered care, where individuals are empowered to actively engage in their #health journeys and make informed choices about their well-being. #PatientsUseAI UC San Diego Health National Academy of Medicine California Health Care Foundation Jewish Healthcare Foundation The Conrad Prebys Foundation Amazon Web Services (AWS) Microsoft Optimum Healthcare IT RLDatix Vizient, Inc Click link to watch ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gh6Dsyvf

Clinician well-being is crucial for safe, high-quality patient care, yet burnout is rising across specialties and settings, affecting clinicians, organizations, and patient outcomes. To address this, JCHI and the National Academy of Medicine recently co-hosted an "Orienting AI toward Workforce Well-Being" workshop, focusing on AI's potential to alleviate burnout and improve clinician well-being. The event brought together experts, clinicians, and tech innovators to explore how #AI can enhance clinical practice, streamline workflows, and improve job satisfaction. Topics discussed ⬇️ Research on AI's impact on health worker well-being. Promising AI use cases to improve well-being. Strategies to navigate digital transformation challenges in health care. Stay tuned as we continue this conversation.
