Among the almost 48,000 facilities evaluated, UPMC distinguished itself by ranking above peers in categories such as analytics and data management, population health, infrastructure and patient engagement. Organizations were evaluated based on their adoption, integration and impact of technologies across healthcare organizations, from early-stage adopters to industry leaders.
To achieve the highest level of recognition, UPMC’s technology, physician and nurse leaders demonstrated how technological advances, including AI, are changing and improving the delivery of world-class health care. UPMC’s advanced use of AI technology includes using ambient AI to streamline clinician efficiency, reduce burnout and enhance patient interaction. AI support is also being leveraged in the diagnosis of stroke, mobile access to CT imaging and reduced time to treatment.
