Healthcare is a dynamic scene. The chances of improving operations, addressing concerns and providing exceptional care experiences are the expectation of the patient and an organizational scale, and at the heart of the reason many professionals choose to work in the field of health care.
Challenge
Often, when people face health care, this includes a surgical visit to the situation of internal patients or outpatient clinics. A recent transverse study found more than 11 % of the respondents who reported it They underwent surgery last year.
For many in the field of health care, especially in the surgical environment, surgery is a daily event – it is their work and experience. But this is definitely not the case for patients.
“The emergence of our work improvement and focus and the goal of improving our process is to improve the patient’s experience, reduce anxiety and fear, and ultimately improve psychological readiness for surgery,” said Steamboat Springs, the UHEALTH YAMPA VALLY Medical Center,
“Improving the process of surgical preparation often focuses on the efficiency and effectiveness of the patient’s productivity from the time of scheduling until going out home or inner patients,” she said. “In conversations with our patients and their families, some topics on surgical readiness continued to reach an increasing frequency.”
Specifically, while making phone calls and telephone visits before and after the surgery, many patients and care providers expressed their concerns and anxiety related to their willingness to surgery. This counter -feeding hit a tendon with the organization’s care teams before surgery and post -anesthesia.
The motivation reactions to determine the need for change and improve the process that focused on the patient’s experience, regardless of time efficiency as a measure in a surgical meeting.
“Finally, the treatment of the psychological readiness of surgery has become a strategic priority for our hospital,” Baker explained. “The challenge arose in determining” preparation “and collecting data to analyze, support and promote meaningful change for the patient’s experience. We knew that we wanted to hear the patient’s voice and realize every population of a different point of view.
“In an attempt to repeat the best practices, the literature was conducted by our team,” she added. “What they found is the lack of literature available to address the psychological readiness of surgery, and most of what was found to treat fear and anxiety. We knew that we were on the right track, but we also knew that we are in a new area.”

Initially, this work was independent of the work by Chris Wellsill. WHELHEL is the founder and CEO of Buldeer, the Collectiono -based Colorado, a health care consultant. Baker said that he completed his doctorate’s practical work at the Oshilth Yamba Valley Medical Center and participated in his passion for technology and innovation, indicating exceptional analytical skills and a deep understanding of complex health care systems.
“Before the process of improving the process, we did not think Take advantage of the tools of artificial intelligence or the surrounding technology She explained in our work space to process these types of large data groups or analysis.
“Through the tools recommended by Chris, we were able to capture data not only but the tone and topics of conversations in our focus groups go beyond just dialogue. Chris understanding and sharing these tools provides the team with a solution to collect and analyze the data we need to find a practical solution to the challenge before us.
And she continued: “The promise of artificial intelligence, and the hope of its inclusion in this project was to reduce the burden of sifting large data groups and the patient’s narration.” “Within minutes of the conclusion of our focus sets, we had a workflow and first pass plans, including major topics, trends and strategies created through artificial intelligence tools.”
The employees also found that through this technology, they were able to remove the initial bias towards planned solutions such as aromatic, touch, brochures, videos, music therapy, and really focus on what concentration groups said they need to be better for surgery.
Facing the challenge
Participants in the focus group made explicit notes that helped employees to define the meaning of “preparation” and clarify a process to better prepare patients for surgery and abroad. The AI and the surrounding tools helped set the procedures that will meet the needs of patients to move forward.
“For example, there were two strong topics identified during our concentration groups, as there was an increase in the participation of caregivers in care and instructions before and after the surgery, and it is surprising, petting during the surgery and during recovery,” Baker pointed out. “These two topics were not on our radar, but they were nominated and identified through the surrounding technology tool.
“We were very excited about the speed at which these data were quickly collected because many of us were first used for this innovative approach to processing complex and secondary information of the data.” “What we gained was very valuable information and endless capabilities from the smooth plans created from artificial intelligence, GPT abstracts, tasks and deeper visions without the user’s bias-and this was done in minutes for hours.”
results
In the first quarter after implementing the workflow and new tools, the patient’s experience was transferred in the third quarter (the patient’s experience was measured every three months) to 100 %, Baker said.
“We feel sure that this has been accomplished by implementing the tools and operations that came directly from the specific directions and topics and the progress of the work of artificial intelligence,” she said.
This includes a new communication protocol, evaluation and renewal Use the available EHR tools that have not been improvedAnd a major change in the workflow through the departments surrounding the process that is driven by the specified trends during our focus groups, “We are a work under progress and we are optimistic about this improvement in the patient’s experience will continue and become a standard practice.”
Advice for others
Baker advised that important considerations when choosing experts in this emerging field are many.
“First of all, it is important to choose an expert in a health care experience,” she said. “The background in our industry provides a deep understanding of the task of health care with the ability to move in the complications of our environment for organizational compliance, patient privacy and data security.
She added: “Other considerations when taking advantage of artificial intelligence will be: defining the project goals clearly; guaranteeing data quality; assessing the ability to adapt and expand the scope and monitoring of any project implementation; and setting the priorities of organizational compliance.”
It is also important to treat the patient’s confidence and experience.
“Before implementing the tools of artificial intelligence in this project, all the participants in the focus group were informed of the plan and the collection of data, use and preserving all the information collected during each session.” “Participants were able to ask questions, determine their participation level, offer artificial intelligence output, and make notes on the session. All participants were elected to continue participating in our focus groups and they were curious and foals of productive tools.
“Finally, I strongly encourage users to request guidance from their own policy and procedures for using and integrating artificial intelligence in their workspace.” “Be open to the possibilities of artificial intelligence. These tools can increase productivity and efficiency, not only with the process of improving the process, but in my daily work. Honestly, all the team members participating in this project merged the use of artificial intelligence tools in their work at a level.”
She concluded that by using a strategic approach that focuses on the patient, institutions now have the ability to benefit from artificial intelligence with responsibility, effectiveness and moral to achieve operational efficiency and improve the patient’s experience-and this applies to both large and small projects.
