EAMC's AI Transformation: A Success Story

EAMC leadership recognized AI's unmatched potential to solve complex data, information, and communication challenges. By partnering with the ACR ImPower Program, EAMC embraced a structured framework for success. The provider's relationship with Inflo Health, an ACR Preferred Vendor, proved crucial. Leveraging the ImPower Program's framework, EAMC implemented Inflo Health's AI to automate follow-up for incidental lung nodules. As a result, EAMC achieved remarkable results, including a 74% increase in follow-up rates, a 95% boost in staff efficiency, and a significant enhancement in patient safety.

This recorded webinar explores how EAMC "bent the curve" on critical outcomes: improving patient safety, enhancing clinical and radiology staff efficiency, and mitigating patient and organization risks. The panel discusses why AI implementations often fail, citing a lack of early engagement and leadership buy-in, and provides actionable steps to ensure alignment between people, processes, and technology from the start.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of the recorded session, you will be able to:

  • Identify the key reasons why AI implementations fail and how to avoid common pitfalls by engaging technology early in the problem-solving process.
  • Cultivate a mini-startup culture within your organization to integrate AI with people, processes, and funding strategies effectively.
  • Leverage data-driven insights and leadership buy-in to drive sustainable quality improvements in radiology workflows
