Allegheny Health Network is innovating in population health through the use of ambient AI, according to its Chief Digital Information Officer, Dr. Richard Medford. By partnering with healthcare AI startup Abridge and leveraging insights from Highmark Health, the network aims to integrate patient data into clinical workflows to enhance value-based care and care alignment.
