During a recent Leadership Council meeting, Phil Kambic, Riverside president & CEO, recognized several of the Riverside directors who had been tasked with finding ways AI could be incorporated into their departments. The directors were:

• Lacey Binnendyk – Heart & Vascular
• Kate Eschbach – Radiology
• Melissa Halcomb – Patient Access
• Melissa Burke – Lab

Kyle Hansen, the director over information technology services, oversaw the challenge, which included finding AI resources that would benefit their department and ultimately, patient care.

Melissa Burke’s submission, the Cellavision program is designed to assist in the lab in the analysis and classification of blood cells and other hematological specimens, was the winner. This technology was added to the 2024 budget and will be added to the lab.

Revenue Integrity had their quarterly department meeting and had an early Halloween party! Costumes were welcomed and there was lots of food! On top of that, there was trick-or-treating throughout the patient accounts side of Hoover. Each manager and director from RI, PFS, and HIM had a bowl of candy in their office. The employees went around and to get the candy they needed to answer a work-related question! Big thanks to all involved and helping us kick of spooky season!
