“Artificial intelligence is now providing tools that allow us to be more efficient and effective when taking care of patients and we can do it in a way that is safer,” says Dr. Victor Herrera, senior vice president and chief clinical officer for AdventHealth Central Florida.
In this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast, Herrera and Rob Purinton, vice president of clinical analytics and performance improvement at AdventHealth, talk AI – both predictive and generative – and how these new technologies benefit patients and providers.
According to Purinton, at AdventHealth, they’re looking at the idea of augmented intelligence, not just artificial intelligence. He says, “How does AI help make our clinicians work smarter, not harder? How does it augment them?”
