After calling in to an intake room, the nurse assesses the patient\u2019s initial condition and assigns a moderate acuity score. Eventually, the waiting room fills. The nurse also has to complete intake and cannot check the patient\u2019s vital signs again until 2:50 PM. By then, the patient needs an emergency transfer.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">With automation<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Through continuous data collection, the system can monitor the same patient without interruption. The patient presents with chest discomfort at 2:00 PM and is assigned a moderate acuity score. At 2:15 PM, the system detects a rising heart rate and declining oxygen levels. The system sends an alert with context to the nurses, who re-examine the patient and can raise the acuity score. Because of the automation, treatment can start sooner. The system can flag the risk and the clinicians can make the appropriate decisions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The key stakeholders who can benefit from AI triage operations include patients who receive faster care and clinicians who spend less time on manual checks and more time with patients who need them. Front-desk and intake staff can also determine with greater confidence whether patients need in-person, virtual, or referral care. Lastly, founders and CEOs gain more capacity, a steadier patient flow, and lower liability risk.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_the_Data_Comes_From\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Where the Data Comes From<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The AI technology reacts through a software layer that reads the data your clinic collects.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The data comes from the following four sources:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">1.

This reduces unnecessary stays. It also improves bed planning. When the admitting team knows how sick a patient is from the start, the patient is able to get in the right unit with the right treatment the first time. This is essential for reducing transfers between units.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Also, bed managers can use risk scores to forecast how many beds each unit will need over the next few hours.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Surgery Beds<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With the help of AI in triage, the system identifies pre-operative risk sooner. This can reduce cancellations on the day of surgery. It also keeps schedules aligned with patient readiness.\u00a0AI can also validate whether prior authorization has changed before surgery is scheduled. It can do this through automated checks and gates. So, a case will not move forward until each requirement passes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For a small clinic, this strengthens relationships with referral partners.
