Telemedicine and AI in Practice – Digital Medicine is Now Simply Medicine
In 1968, then-medical student Michael Crichton wrote a story that introduced America to using video for telemedicine. What was futuristic then is common today. This session outlines ways CHIME members can leverage telemedicine and artificial intelligence to provide efficient remote care:
- Virtual ED visits, where patients now go door-to-door in 35 minutes and have a 95 percent satisfaction rating
- Room service delivery of patient meals via autonomous robots
- Urgent care visits from home, where patients can have an entire visit with a board-certified ED physician and receive remote prescriptions in 8-10 minutes
- Artificial intelligence-driven clinical recommendation texts sent to physicians’ phones to drive down patient length of stay
Learning Objectives
- Adoption of advanced technology
- Artificial Applications in healthcare
- Emerging opportunities for introducing telemedicine for acute care
- Strategies for making emerging technologies operationally effective

Is This the End of Secrecy in Healthcare?
For 17 years, UCHealth in Colorado has been sharing test results and communicating with patients online. They are still trying to squash traditional pockets of secrecy: information that is usually hidden from patients. How far are you on this journey? Come see what it took to implement:
- Open Test Results (2002): auto-release test results (most are released immediately)
- Open Notes (2016): auto-release doctor’s notes
- Our Notes (2018): patients co-author doctor’s notes
- Radiology Images (2018): showing radiology reports AND images to patients
- Online Scheduling (2018): for primary and specialty care
- Cost Calculator (2018): patients can see and calculate anticipated hospital fees
Learning Objectives
- Describe how to lead an organization to deploy a patient portal with a growing number of patient-friendly features that physicians may not initially appreciate
- Describe what it takes to successfully deploy patient transparency projects in a large organization
- Explain how to replicate the tools and services described at your own organization
