- With the goal of maximizing staff efficiency for utilization management (UM) nurses and physician advisors, Illinois-based health system OSF Healthcare will begin using an XSOLIS artificial intelligence (AI) solution known as CORTEX.

As AI grows in capabilities and applicability, healthcare professionals continue to use it to improve system operations. Leaders from MultiCare Health System and Coordinated Care spoke with HealthITAnalytics last year about how AI could improve information exchange and streamline utilization management between providers and payers.

With the goal of finding a solution to improve staff efficiencies, OSF Healthcare plans to deploy CORTEX, developed by health technology company XSOLIS to streamline UM workflow and reporting. Assisting health plans, hospitals, and payer organizations, XSOLIS creates solutions to enhance efficiency within healthcare systems.
