CIOs are reimagining EHRs to incorporate advanced technologies such as ambient AI for automatic clinical documentation and enhanced user experience through hands-free controls. Dr. Jordan Tannenbaum from Saint Peter’s Healthcare System suggests that AI transcription could save clinicians time but notes the hurdle posed by inadequate data exchange across EHR systems. Steven Travers of Broward Health emphasizes the necessity of robust cybersecurity measures and the integration of wearable devices for real-time health monitoring. Kristin Myers of Northwell Health advocates for smooth AI integration into EHR workflows to augment patient care and clinician efficiency.

Healthcare CIOs are navigating a complex landscape of AI vendors, all touting solutions for various challenges in the sector, amid predictions that the AI healthcare market will exceed $504 billion by 2032. As they face a deluge of proposals, CIOs are focusing on ensuring that solutions align with strategic goals and deliver measurable value, particularly in clinical outcomes and operational efficiency. While the promise of AI adoption is high, only 54% of healthcare organizations report achieving a return on investment in the first year. Ambient AI is gaining traction for its potential to ease documentation burdens and improve clinician satisfaction, although many organizations remain cautious in their overall AI implementation strategies.

Joseph C. Kvedar, MD, reflects on the evolution of value-based reimbursement strategies in U.S. healthcare on the 10th anniversary of "The Internet of Healthy Things." He notes that while there has been some growth in value-based (VB) reimbursement, fee-for-service (FFS) models remain dominant, especially in inpatient care. Kvedar recalls the 2015 goal set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to achieve 90% value-based reimbursements by 2018, which has yet to be realized, particularly in hospital settings. Currently, about 75% of Medicare enrollees participate in some VB program, but progress has stalled, with limited adoption in Medicaid and employer-sponsored plans.
