Andor Health announced Friday that its virtual health platform ThinkAndor, which leverages OpenAI and healthcare-trained GPT models, is helping to accelerate the virtual rounding programme at Florida-based health system Health First by extending the programme to support virtual nursing. Andor CEO Raj Toleti explained that by applying these technologies, and integrating them into a patient’s electronic medical record (EHR), “a first-of-its-kind decentralised virtual nursing can be delivered to health systems in a tailored, hardware agnostic, contextual and just-in-time manner.”
Hospitals are struggling to admit and discharge patients in a timely manner due to staffing shortages, but Andor believes “a unified, scalable virtual health strategy” can help health systems solve these problems. By adopting OpenAI and healthcare-trained GPT, the company says its ThinkAndor platform helps manage clinical workflows and curate clinical context to meet health system needs.
ThinkAndor uses artificial intelligence (AI) to provide a configurable experience that allows clinical staff to identify and route virtual requests to on-shift and available providers. The hardware-agnostic platform, which launches directly from the HER, is able bring in shifts and schedules from various systems to enable on-demand virtual nursing.
According to the company, health systems that have implemented ThinkAndor for virtual nursing have boosted their nursing capacity three-fold and have access to 1600 nurses on the platform’s network. It added that health systems are also using virtual nursing to carry out admissions, discharges, dual medication verification, ICU monitoring, and other tasks. The technology also allows nursing staff to bring in specialty clinicians for remote consultations for urgent interventions such as triage, telestroke and telepsych.View Original Post Here
