How Bethany Children’s Uses Ambient AI, EHR Optimization, and Rehabilitation Technology to Advance Pediatric Care

For more than 25 years, Dr. Darin Brannan has used healthcare technology to help children with complex medical needs reach their potential. In this episode of The CereCore Podcast, the Chief of Clinical Innovation at Bethany Children’s Health Center explains how the pediatric health system evaluates emerging technology, establishes AI governance and staff education before adoption, and uses ambient AI to reduce provider documentation time by two hours per day. He also discusses exoskeletons and virtual reality in pediatric rehabilitation, MEDITECH EHR optimization, and the value of a healthcare IT partner that understands an organization’s clinical workflows.

In this episode:

• Why technology decisions must start with a problem, not a product
• The real impact of ambient AI on providers and patient relationships
• How exoskeletons and VR are transforming pediatric rehabilitation
