Improving Hospital Operations with Streaming Data and Real Time AI/ML
Description
Over the past two years, Providence has developed a robust streaming data platform (SDP) leveraging Databricks in Azure. The SDP enables us to ingest and process real-time data reflecting clinical operations across our 52 hospitals and roughly 1000 ambulatory clinics. The HL7 messages generated by Epic are parsed using Databricks in our secure cloud environment and used to generate an up-to-the minute picture of exactly what is happening at the point of care. We are already leveraging this information to minimize hospital overcrowding and have been actively integrating AI/ML to accurately forecast future conditions (e.g., arrivals, length of stay, acuity, and discharge requirements.) This allows us to both improve resource utilization (e.g., nurse staffing levels) and to optimize patient throughput. The result is both improved patient care and operational efficiency. In this session, we will share how these outcomes are only possible with the power and elegance afforded by our investments in Azure, Databricks, and increasingly Lakehouse. We will demonstrate Providence's blueprint for enabling real-time analytics which can be generalized to other healthcare providers. Talk by: Li…

ReleasesIntroducing Omnigent: The Ultimate Meta-Harness for AI Agents
Omnigent is a new open-source meta-harness for AI agents that provides a unified interface for composition, control, and collaboration across multiple models and agent workflows. It enables stateful, data-centric policies for guardrails and allows real-time sharing and steering of live agent sessions with teammates.
NewsHow DEFRA and Natural England Accelerate Peatland Restoration with AI and Databricks
DEFRA and Natural England utilize AI and Databricks to accelerate peatland restoration by automating the mapping of peatland features and peat dams across England. This technology significantly reduces the time required for mapping, enabling faster identification and restoration of these crucial carbon-storing habitats.
NewsAI Stack Explained in 3 Layers (LLM, Agent Harness, Omnigent)
The AI stack now includes a third layer, the meta harness, which sits above individual agent harnesses. This meta harness, exemplified by Databricks' open-sourced Omnigent, allows for routing queries to appropriate agents and orchestrating tasks across multiple agents, enabling seamless interaction and context sharing between them.
