Optimizing hospitals with Siemens 

In five to 10 years, a hospital room could look very different. Advocate Health is beginning to build that room of the future today. The concept integrates advanced artificial intelligence capabilities, virtual nursing and audio, video and sensor data for intelligent patient monitoring, creating an extra set of eyes and ears for care teams. Nurses and clinicians can respond more quickly and proactively, while patients receive real-time assistance. Virtual technology also allows family members to participate in care from outside the room.

Advocate Health is piloting the room of the future at two hospitals in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Fierce Healthcare got a firsthand look at the initiative. On site, Executive Editor Heather Landi spoke with Molly McColl, Advocate Health’s vice president of virtual health and clinical transformation, about how the tech-enabled hospital room supports care teams, improves the patient experience and expands access to care, particularly in rural communities.

The building blocks behind measurement-based behavioral healthcare

Dermatology may not be a specialty traditionally associated with high costs, but that is changing, in part because of the rise of new biologic drugs. Specialty medications are rapidly driving up dermatology spending, with some estimates showing utilization growing more than 30% year over year, a pace that rivals other high-cost therapeutic areas.

Could strong health outcomes be achieved with a less expensive approach? Zest Health is a value-based dermatology startup that treats skin conditions as chronic diseases and aims to align care with long-term patient needs. The company emphasizes education, lifestyle changes and over-the-counter interventions, while using high-cost biologics more selectively when clinically appropriate.

To explore how dermatology arrived at this moment, and what a different model could look like, Senior Writer Anastassia Gliadkovskaya sits down with Olivia Deitcher, founder and CEO of Zest Health.
