From new procedures to evolving uses of artificial intelligence, here are seven notes on gastroenterological technology that ASCs and providers should monitor over the next five years:
Artificial intelligence
- GI Alliance has partnered with Ambience Healthcare to build a suite of artificial intelligence documentation tools, specifically for gastroenterology to allow an 83% reduction in new patient documentation time.
- St. Petersburg-based Florida Digestive Health Specialists added ambulatory cloud EHR eClinicalWorks’ AI tools and virtual scribe Sunoh.ai to assist with patient information charting and streamlined workflows.
- Artificial intelligence can also be used in the diagnosis process, with a trial conducted by three Italian research centers and published in the journal Gastroenterology finding that computer-aided polyp detection increases adenoma detection rates over high-definition colonoscopy alone.
