How healthcare organizations can improve discharge medication safety

How healthcare organizations can improve discharge medication safety

Medications are integral for preventing and curing illness, yet medication errors can also be a cause of harm. For example, in 1993 over 7000 patients died in the United States as a result of a medication error. As more medications become available for use, the simultaneous use of multiple medications by a single patient is […]

Build an end-to-end framework to store, integrate, and analyze multimodal data using AWS purpose-built Health and Machine Learning services.

Multimodal Data Analysis with AWS Health and Machine Learning Services

Integration of on-premises medical imaging data with AWS HealthImaging

The medical imaging industry is used to diagnose and treat various medical conditions. The medical imaging industry has experienced significant growth [1] over the past decade and is expected to continue growing in the upcoming years. This is due to the demand for diagnostic imaging services increasing with the aging population, an increase in the […]

How AWS HealthImaging works: medical image data is created by imaging modalities (e.g. CT scanners, and X-ray), it is temporarily copied to Amazon S3, and then imported to HealthImaging. From there, it can be used by diagnostic viewers and clinical applications (e.g. cloud PACS), for collaboration, and to build, train, and deploy AI/ML.

Introducing AWS HealthImaging — purpose-built for medical imaging at scale

We are excited to announce the general availability of AWS HealthImaging, a purpose-built service that helps builders develop cloud-native applications that store, analyze, and share medical imaging data at petabyte-scale. HealthImaging ingests data in the DICOM P10 format. It provides APIs for low-latency retrieval, and purpose-built storage. Our healthcare customers tell us they want their […]

Implement FAIR scientific data principles when building HCLS data lakes

The FAIR data principles were first proposed in a seminal paper published in 2016 in the Journal Scientific Data. It was written by a group of international experts in data management and curation. To address the challenges that the research community is facing, they proposed FAIR Principles as a framework for making data more discoverable, […]

Improve Patient Safety Intelligence Using AWS AI/ML Services

Today, healthcare organizations rely on a combination of automated and manual processes to compose, review, and classify patient safety reports. These reports are entered manually by front-line clinicians into the RL Datix reporting system. This entry includes both discrete data points as well as a free-text narrative. Although the data collection process may begin with […]
