Stanford Health tackles early patient deterioration detection using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Implemented in clinical decision support systems, these technologies improved patient experience and care quality. Dr. Shreya Shah will elaborate on such AI applications in Stanford Health Care at the 2023 HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum.
