When used purposefully and responsibly, artificial intelligence improves equity in every part of a hospital, including the emergency department. Previous research found Black patients have a 20% greater chance of being mis-triaged in the emergency department, potentially delaying urgently needed care. Now, the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research is developing a clinical decision support tool that runs on machine learning to improve emergency department patient assessments. #AI #EmergencyMedicine #HealthEquity https://ow.ly/Rlz450Ub6NP

The Maribel Health team is comprised of clinical, operational and technology leaders with a unique depth and breadth of Hospital-at-Home (HaH) program launch, transformation, optimization, and process automation experience. Whether your organization is starting a new HaH program or enhancing an existing offering, it is critical to remain laser-focused on Growth and Optimization. Common Growth and Optimization points of program failure include: 💠 An exclusive (or primary) focus on the most common medical diagnoses without expanding into higher levels of medical acuity and specialty areas (e.g., post-surgical care, oncology) 💠 A predominant focus on early discharge for length of stay reduction rather than ED diversion and hyper-early transfer which offer maximum capacity creation; once length of stay reduction becomes the default, it is much harder to move to ED diversion subsequently 💠 Getting comfortable with the status quo after reaching early census goals rather than staying relentlessly focused on achieving break-even and driving to target volumes 💠 Lack of robust and continuous engagement with hospital-based teams, including attending huddles and daily report-outs 💠 Failure to aggressively expand payers early in the program journey 💠 Failure to effectively deploy care orchestration software to enable safe and effective program scaling Maribel is pleased to share insights to help guide you through your HaH journey. Let’s shape the future of healthcare together! #HospitalatHome #HealthCareInnovation #CMS #MaribelHealth
