Healthcare IT investments reduce operating costs
More than 60% of U.S. hospitals have made significant enough investments in information technology to begin seeing reductions in operating costs, according to a survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
More than 60% of U.S. hospitals have made significant enough investments in information technology to begin seeing reductions in operating costs, according to a survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The report covers nearly 2000 U.S. hospitals. It was conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Prof. Lorin Hitt of the Wharton School of University of Pennsylvania. The researchers concluded that IT investment must reach a tipping point before cost-reducing performance improvements occur and that six in 10 hospitals are at or nearing that point.
When hospitals move into high adopter categories, strong evidence suggests IT investments lead to cost reduction as the organization gains skills in leveraging the technology. To fully realize the value from IT investments, organizations must also redesign clinical and business processes.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
