Earth without art is just eh. Healthcare IT without art is… Helhcae IT? Healthce I? Doesn’t quite work, but you get the joke. Wherever you are—hospital, home, or high-rise—we hope you’ve got some art nearby that makes you smile 😊

Seth Hain, a vice president of R&D at Epic, recently chatted with Healthcare IT Today to share some of the things that we’re working on. Here are just a few: 1. Efficiency improvements for clinicians and administrators so that more time can be spent with patients. The goal is not only to reduce workloads, but to better balance the remaining workloads across an organization. 2. Technology to support deeper connections with patients and more personalized communication paths through patients’ preferred channels, including MyChart and SMS. 3. Data discovery through Cosmos to facilitate research, clinical trials, and other life sciences efforts. From Seth: “For 2023, I believe we will see continued rapid adoption of technology. COVID-19 showed us that we can implement new technology quickly in healthcare AND realize the benefits quickly as well. With the continued difficult economic climate, healthcare organizations will have to do more with less and technology can be a great way to achieve efficiencies."
