#EnterpriseImaging has emerged as a pivotal innovation helping to transform the way healthcare organizations manage and utilize their imaging data. We’ve worked with our colleagues at Carle Health on a new joint whitepaper that shares lessons learned from their enterprise imaging project to integrate imaging data from all 8 hospitals in their system. You’ll learn about how Dr. Doug Morton, a practicing neuroradiologist at Carle Health, and Kelly Oppe, RT(R), MBA, the organization’s Clinical Imaging Director, successfully led a multi-functional team through a transformative initiative – and how that effort, in partnership with Merge, enabled Carle Health to unify imaging data across multiple hospital sites, enable cross-enterprise care collaboration, and image-enable their patient portals. How is your enterprise imaging journey going? Does Carle Health’s pre-Merge story sound a little like yours? Check out how their journey went for fresh inspiration on how to manage yours successfully. https://lnkd.in/eYiFKXkP

There are more pilots in a hospital than in an airport! Looking back on a great panel at HLTH Europe where I had the chance to discuss with Micaela, Nicolas and Thomas the critical success factors for scaling digital health pilots to larger contracts! Special thanks to Katherine for guiding us through the session. The healthcare industry has witnessed a surge in digital health pilots over the past few years - especially by start-ups . However, many of these pilots have failed to gain traction and scale inside and across hospitals, resulting in what is now known as "pilot-isis" or the crisis with pilots in healthcare. This is a major concern in an evidence-driven industry. Which critical success factors for scaling digital health pilots in hospitals did we discuss? ⭐ A joint vision and commitment to the pilot is needed! Ensure that the goals, plans, and KPIs are aligned with the hospital's objectives 📊 Key indicators across the following categories could be considered and should be transparent to the start-up and the hospital ▶ KPIs regarding the to-be-achieved value, such as efficiency increase, or increased patient outcome ▶ KPIs around efforts to roll out the new solution, such as change, training and integration efforts 🚨 This can be an iceberg ▶ KRIs (Key Risk Indicators) to identify and manage risks such as harmed stability of workflows & processes 🚨 There can be showstoppers 💡 Try to maximize the value, while minimizing the efforts and mitigating the risks to raise the chance of a successful piloting ❗ Pivot if needed. Monitor your set of KPIs/KRIs closely and decide to change the set-up when you see no movement or positive trends for your relevant numbers Conclusion - Absolute key is a great product market (+ implementation) fit paired with excellence in account management. By doing so, the chance that a pilot will take off increases. 🛫 Special thanks to Lina Behrens for the great curation of topics and speakers for the HLTH Europe in Amsterdam! #teamzeiss #pilots #digitalhealth #HLTH ZEISS Digital Innovation

Just wrapped up #HLTHUSA #HLTH2024, the largest healthcare conference to date! The Venetian Resort Las Vegas was a fantastic venue (though the food… not so much, but more on that later). On the bright side, #HLTH was the ultimate one-stop shop for healthcare innovation – and I do mean innovation. 80% of the conference felt like an AI expo! Everywhere you turned, it was AI this, AI that. But therein lies the rub: are we creating an AI bubble? There was clear resistance from health systems around “point solutions,” and with so much money flowing into these, is it sustainable? Time will tell, but the takeaway: tread AI with caution. Now, let’s talk size. This conference might have outgrown itself. Many colleagues (myself included) felt the sheer scale made it tough to connect with people – you miss more people than you meet! A bit of a maze with a lot of “where did that booth go?” moments. Bigger isn’t always better, HLTH team. Maybe a rethink for next year? And about that food… let’s just say, my colleague and I bailed on an evening event to hunt down something better. For the price tag, we’d either expect gourmet, or I’d happily pay less and take myself to a better restaurant. On the upside, the conference brought together the most influential thought leaders. CEOs of top companies, political heavyweights, and most notably, a record representation of physicians. Doctors are getting hands-on with the future of healthcare innovation, which feels like the game-changer we’ve been waiting for. Healthcare is evolving, but a simple AI overlay on a legacy system won’t be the fix – true change starts at the foundation. Thanks to Physician Side Gigs for the enlightenment. All in all, HLTH 2024 was a whirlwind of ideas, connections, and some food for thought (pun intended). Looking forward to seeing where this all goes next year. Thank-you Patrick Myles, Ganesh Padmanabhan, Gurpreet Singh, Nisha Mehta, MD, Ashish Atreja, MD, MPH, Min Lang, Arjun Singh, Daniel Kraft, MD, Raihan Faroqui, MD, and Razik Yousfi
