How a Tiny Community Hospital Deployed AI to Reduce Costs and Enhance Patient Outcomes .. the case of Flagler Hospital in St. Augustine FL

Burgess COMMENTARY
I had my first exposure to computerization in 1963, shortly after I graduated. The value of information technology has always been in the way it is actually used, and not in the cleverness of the processing and the coders. I have always wanted to use data and data processing to get a better understanding of what is going on, and enabling real people at every level to make better decisions in a myriad of different ways. The infamous PC paradox of the 1980s got solved as soon as the technology was applied to bigger issues than typing ... which junior female staff were very good at, and senior executives with a PC could not handle to save their lives! Fast forward to now, the opportunities are huge, but the allocation of resources to initiatives that are worthwhile is not going to be achieved unless more decision makers understand the importance of social and environmental priorities as well as merely money wealth creation.
