Dr. Hamad Husainy, an emergency medicine physician and Chief Medical Officer at PointClickCare, will be sharing his insights at HIMSS25 on the importance of utilizing technology to streamline care collaboration and improve post-acute care outcomes.
In a recent interview, Dr. Husainy emphasized the need for emergency medicine physicians to have access to the right data in a digestible and actionable format. He highlighted how IT solutions can play a crucial role in providing clinicians with real-time data and insights to facilitate seamless care transitions and prevent unnecessary readmissions.
One of the key messages Dr. Husainy will be conveying to hospital and health system attendees at HIMSS25 is the importance of leveraging post-acute care management technology to track patients through their care journeys and intervene when necessary. By utilizing real-time data, providers can detect patient decompensation early on and prevent avoidable ED visits and rehospitalizations, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
When discussing the dominant technologies in healthcare today, Dr. Husainy pointed to the significance of AI in predicting patient outcomes and readmission risks. AI-powered systems can analyze vast amounts of data to identify patients at high risk of readmission, outperforming traditional prediction models and enabling providers to deliver more personalized care.
In offering advice to CIOs and IT leaders attending HIMSS25, Dr. Husainy emphasized the importance of delivering the right data to clinicians in a standardized and actionable format. He highlighted PointClickCare’s tools as an example of how technology can streamline data delivery at the bedside, enhancing clinical decision-making and workflow efficiency.
Furthermore, Dr. Husainy urged healthcare organizations to prepare for the continued expansion of value-based care, emphasizing the need for interoperability and collaboration across care settings. By addressing visibility challenges and improving communication between hospitals and post-acute care facilities, providers can enhance care coordination, reduce readmissions, and improve patient outcomes under value-based care models.
As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, Dr. Husainy’s insights serve as a valuable guide for healthcare leaders looking to optimize care delivery, leverage technology effectively, and drive better outcomes for patients.
