Valley Children's Hospital, located in California's Central Valley just outside Fresno's city limits, serves 1.3 million children, most of whom live roughly between Sacramento and Los Angeles. For some time now, the health system has been improving its care delivery and gaining clinical and operational ROI with artificial intelligence.
Beyond improving patient experiences during visits, AI has improved how doctors diagnose and treat them. For example using Epic Cosmos, which analyzes medical data across electronic health records nationwide, doctors have been able to identify colleagues with experience in treating rare diseases, such as phenylketonuria (PKU), and then discuss rare complications directly with them. While in its pilot stages, Valley Children's is also testing other ambient AI technology designed to help nurses with their documentation. The hospital is also working to improve how patient histories are taken. Instead of filling out forms, AI will take basic history questions.
Patients in the largely rural pediatric population now have a better office experience and more personalized treatment with artificial intelligence.
