Closing the Look in AI, EMR and Provider Partnerships: The Key to Improved Population Health Management?

The capabilities and interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and population health, has grown exponentially over the past decade. The vast volume
of digital data in the form of images generated by an aging population, with an ever-increasing demand for imaging, amassed by radiology departments, provides ample opportunity for AI application and has allowed radiology to become a service line leader of AI in the medical field.
The screening and detection capabilities of AI make it a valuable tool in population health management, as
organizations work to shift their services to early identification and intervention, especially as it relates to chronic disease. This discussion covers clinical, technological, and operational workflows that were developed and integrated within each other to support the adoption of AI algorithms aimed at detecting subclinical osteoporosis and coronary artery disease. The benefits of AI are reviewed and weighed against potential drawbacks within the context of population health management and
risk contract arrangements. Mitigation tactics are discussed, as well as anticipated outcomes of cost-avoidance, physician use of evidence-based clinical pathways, and reduction in major patient events (e.g., stroke, hip fracture).
