Hospitals and health systems continue to partner with Big Tech companies to further their digital transformations. Here are nine of those collaborations Becker's reported on in the past month.
1. In March, New York City-based NYU Langone Health requested access to Microsoft's private instances of GPT-4, the large language model that powers ChatGPT, and now has one of the first HIPAA-compliant GPT-4 ecosystems in healthcare, the health system said Aug. 18.
2. New York City-based Mount Sinai Health System, which has one of the largest production instances of Epic running on Microsoft's cloud, says the move has been able to reduce upfront infrastructure costs and accelerate its integration of artificial intelligence, its CIO told Becker's for an Aug. 17 story.
3. Renton, Wash.-based Providence is integrating generative AI into MedPearl, its clinician education and referral platform, giving primary care providers advice on whether — and where — to send patients for specialty care, its digital health chief told Becker's for an Aug. 16 story.
