3 ways a Louisiana system is integrating AI into clinical workflows

Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System has been using artificial intelligence to boost performance across its clinical and financial systems for years, but use of those tools is increasing at the Baton Rouge, La.-based organization. At the end of the day, that's what's going to set them apart," Jenny Smith, senior director of digital health at the health system, said. The health system said it has created an AI-powered lung nodule program, which overrides Epic's interpretations of all radiology reports in its system. Another endeavor where the system is integrating AI tools is diabetic retinopathy exams. Anecdotally, the health system said the tool has had a positive effect on physician and patient satisfaction scores.
