Banner Health to expand clinical AI to 33 hospitals, 6 states unknown

Phoenix-based Banner Health plans to expand a clinical artificial intelligence platform to 33 hospitals across six states in 2024 after a successful pilot.

The health system piloted the AI platform from Regard in 2022 at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in Glendale, Ariz., and will now roll it out across six states in phases this year, according to a March 18 news release.

The EHR-based program aims to help with clinician burnout. It uses proprietary algorithms and AI to unlock clinical insights and speed up workflows. The tool also aims to optimize reimbursement by enhancing documentation and streamlining denial appeals.
