A new 6,000-square-foot hospital operations center at Children’s Mercy Kansas City uses artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and real-time information to optimize care coordination from the time of patient’s admission until discharge.
Children’s Mercy said the center – modeled after NASA’s mission control – will localize team members to break down bottlenecks, identify potential barriers and increase patient satisfaction as they advance through their patient journeys, reports Healthcare IT News.
“Making better-informed decisions leads to better outcomes for our patients, families and our staff,” Paul Kempinski, president and chief executive officer of Children’s Mercy, said in Monday’s announcement.
The hospital is the first freestanding pediatric hospital in the U.S. to collaborate with GE HealthCare on patient flow technology. Read more.
