AdventHealth opens new AI-powered clinical command center

AdventHealth's Central Florida Division has launched a new high-tech command center powered with GE Healthcare technology. WHY IT MATTERS The center uses artificial intelligence to help the nonprofit health system ensure efficient patient care across nine Central Florida hospitals, including algorithms that inform and guide decision-making across a multitude of areas. These include patient transfers between units and facilities, dispatch of ambulances and helicopters, and prioritization of placement and treatment across AdventHealth medical campuses in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties. The 12,000-square-foot center – referred to by the health system as "Mission Control" and billed as the biggest of its kind – is staffed 24 hours a day and features 60 monitors that continually display information such as near-time information such as patient bed status, as well as helicopter and ambulance status and movements. AdventHealth already leverages real-time data to boost outcomes, having built analytics dashboards for nurses to enable proactive quality improvement-- an application that has impacted CLABSI scores, CAUTI scores, as well as flu vaccine and pneumo vaccine compliance rates.
