Doylestown Health is using a platform developed by XSOLIS to help nurses stay on top of fast-changing patient conditions and ensure each patient is properly classified and cared for.

"It's really important in this day and age for hospitals to learn to leverage technology to their advantage. Any time you do something manually, somebody's going to miss something." — Mary Beth Mitchell, MSN, RN, CPHQ, CCM, SSBB, senior executive director of care transformation strategies, Doylestown Health

For all their advantages, EHRs aren't so good at detecting changes in patient status that separate those being observed and those who end up admitted. Nursing staff are often left to comb and click through records in an endless game of catch-up.

For this week's lead story, HealthLeaders' Scott Mace shows how, at Doylestown Health, AI and algorithmic technology are delivering this in a more efficient manner.
