Innovations in Regional Health Information Exchanges: Expanding Access to School Health Services
2025 Clinical Informatics Conference Health Systems Presentation
2025 Clinical Informatics Conference DEI/Health Equity Presentation
Presentation Time: 09:15 AM - 09:25 AM
Abstract Keywords: Coordination Across the Continuum of Care, Health Information Exchange (HIE), Usability and Measuring User Experience, Driving Digital Equity, Secure Communication
Primary Track: Innovation in Driving Digital Equity and Social Care
Programmatic Theme: Usability, Efficiency, and User Experience
National movements aim to improve health information exchange between healthcare systems. We will present two states' processes for giving school nurses access to regional health information exchanges (HIEs). The presentation will include important issues to address with this special use case, like security, privacy, state consent laws, workflows, and technical considerations for this HIE access. The results of semi-structured pre- and post-access school nurse interviews will also be presented, along with examples of how the HIE allowed for better proactive management and interprofessional care coordination of students' health needs at school.

Beyond the Hype: Automation in Clinical Practice, Improving Lung Cancer Screening Outreach and Referrals by 150% in 90 days
2025 Clinical Informatics Conference Health Systems Presentation
2025 Clinical Informatics Conference DEI/Health Equity Presentation
2025 Clinical Informatics Conference 25x5 Presentation
Presentation Time: 09:25 AM - 09:35 AM
Abstract Keywords: Clinical Process Automation, Care Delivery Models, Population Health
Primary Track: AI and Care Outcomes
Programmatic Theme: Informatics-Driven Value-Based Healthcare
Background:
Only 4% of eligible patients were being referred for lung cancer screening at our facility. Early detection of lung cancer significantly improves survival rates.
Objective:
Our project aimed to increase lung cancer screening referrals from 4% to 10% in 90 days, while reducing manual work and cognitive burden for referring providers, by implementing an intelligent, automated outreach and referral protocol, embedded in the electronic health record (EHR).
Methods:
We developed an automated system following the United States Preventative Services Task Force guidelines to identify eligible patients send either a portal message or letter with self-scheduling instructions for a telephone visit. During the visit, a respiratory therapist (RT) discussed the risks and benefits of a low-dose CT scan with patients, who could choose to enroll in the program or decline.
Results:
The project resulted in significant improvements in outreach and referrals. Shared-decision making visits increased by 150% within 90 days post go-live. A total of 377 patients completed shared decision-making, and 160 (42%) of these patients completed their CT scan. The system also optimized care delivery, shifting appointments from 30 to 15 minutes and increasing access to rural patients through telephone visits.
Conclusion:
The intelligent, automated outreach and referral system effectively increased lung cancer screening for eligible patients, reduced manual work for referring providers, and optimized the care delivery process. This initiative demonstrates the potential of clinical automation in improving patient outcomes and clinical experience.

Making the Case for Ambient AI: Real World ROI and Burnout Metrics
2025 Clinical Informatics Conference Health Systems Presentation
2025 Clinical Informatics Conference 25x5 Presentation
Presentation Time: 09:55 AM - 10:05 AM
Abstract Keywords: Ambient documentation, Clinician Burnout, Documentation Burden
Primary Track: AI and Care Outcomes
Programmatic Theme: Organizational Challenges
Ambient AI tools for clinical documentation are exciting and expensive. We outline the financial benefit to justify the cost of broader adoption of ambient AI including positive annualized ROI calculations. Additionally, the pilot group showed improved retention and engagement metrics, and decreased burnout scores lead to significant potential cost savings to the organization.
