Community Health Systems, based in Franklin, Tenn., moved its clinical data platform to a system called Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources 1 and is now using Google Cloud technologies to introduce new generative AI features throughout its organization.
By consolidating its data on FHIR, Community Health Systems aims to simplify how its healthcare professionals locate information and grasp the clinical and operational metrics of the organization, according to a Jan. 31 news release from Google Cloud and CHS.
The implementation of generative AI tools also aims to save time for healthcare professionals, allowing them to concentrate on high-value patient interactions, the release said. CHS plans to deploy generative AI in key areas, including improving clinical documentation by distilling and disseminating complex data, automating administrative tasks using Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform, and providing patients with personalized, concise information related to social determinants of health through the use of Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform and capabilities with Google Maps.
