Summary

The American Hospital Association and West Health Institute have launched a national accelerator focused on helping hospitals scale technology-enabled care solutions.      The initiative will focus on electronic health record optimization, virtual care, and AI integration as health systems work to reduce administrative burden and improve care delivery.     On today’s episode, the AHA’s Chief Physician Executive and Senior Vice President Chris DeRienzo, M.D. , returns to the show. We examine what the accelerator could mean for health systems navigating clinician burnout, administrative burden, and growing pressure to modernize care delivery.  You can find more information about the program at nationalaccelerator.org .
