Happy National Read a Book Day! We love books around here—so much so that we have our own library, called Alexandria. (Oh, and we themed an entire conference around children’s books. 😊) Our staff can peruse Alexandria’s shelves and check out books on a variety of topics to help with career growth—time management, communication skills, leadership, medical topics, coding, writing…there are even cookbooks for our culinary team. What are your favorite books to read?

More and more organizations are coming together to support each other’s Epic implementations, sometimes traveling around the world to learn and lend a hand. Folks from Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and Advocate Health (pictured below at the Apollo go-live in London), Woman's Hospital, and Memorial Hermann Health System recently spoke to us about how they collaborated with others to help make their go-lives a success.

An estimated 6.2 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s and other dementias in the US today. Among people 65 and older, one in every nine have Alzheimer’s. To help clinicians care for these patients across care settings, our friends at UCLA Health created a dementia program managed in Epic. Families are assigned a designated point person who’s trained in dementia care, and information about patients’ dementia progression, care needs, and future plans is made available to clinicians in the program and to primary care doctors—helping ensure that care is cohesive. Patients in the program have seen a 12% reduction in hospitalization, a 20% reduction in ED visits, and a 21% reduction in ICU stays.

Cosmos and MyChart and AI, oh my! UGM 2024 has been a tale for the ages, and it isn’t done yet. Today, we cap the week with Global Day. At Exec Address and Cool Stuff Ahead, we discussed our plans for generative AI, ambient listening in the exam room, Cosmos insights at the point of care (Best Care Choices for My Patient, Look-Alikes, and Diagnosis Advisor), MyChart, enhancing collaboration between payers and providers, surgical supply efficiency, and a whole lot more. “We've woven Cosmos, MyChart, and the Health Grid into all of our software, and as they continue to grow in scale, so does the potential for meaningful impact, and they’re getting turbocharged with AI,” said Sumit Rana, who leads R&D here at Epic.

Notch another win against note bloat. To reduce note length and improve note quality in inpatient contexts, Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego updated note templates in Epic to include “disappearing help text”—in-line suggestions and reminders that help clinicians know what’s needed (and what’s not) in their documentation. Their efforts have reduced inpatient progress note length by nearly 19% and median admission note length by more than 6—saving clinicians time, and making it easier to find the information that matters most. The notes were also higher quality: the number of coding queries—when a coder has to ask the clinician for more details about a patient’s visit or admission to bill appropriately—decreased by 14%. Congrats, folks! Read more: https://lnkd.in/gP4EfHPY #healthcare #healthIT #notebloat

In June, we partnered with UW Health to organize an AI summit in DC, bringing together experts from across the country to discuss the technology’s use in healthcare. Last week, the summit published a report with recommendations for policymakers as they consider AI’s future. The report covers numerous themes, including workforce support, patient care, data validation and privacy, and bringing AI to healthcare organizations in rural and low-resource settings.

Vaccination can prevent more than 90% of cancers caused by HPV, but HPV remains prevalent. About 13 million people get HPV each year, and more than 36,000 are estimated to be diagnosed with a cancer caused by HPV annually. Two members of the Epic community—The MetroHealth System (Cleveland, OH) and South Boston Community Health Center—have worked to reduce HPV rates by getting kids a head start on the vaccination series, beginning at the age of 9 rather than 12. They trained clinicians on the importance of early vaccination, added a reminder in Epic that appears during visits with eligible patients, and made it easy to order the vaccine from their familiar Epic workflows. As a result, MetroHealth increased the percentage of 9- and 10-year-olds receiving the vaccine from below 5% to above 20%, and SBCHC increased its completion rate for patients aged 13-15 by more than 50%.
