Jonathan Steinberger, MD, Interventional Radiologist at Cedars-Sinai, recently highlighted the impact of Aidoc’s AI on the hospital’s Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT). The integration of AI has “dramatically improved” the team’s awareness of patient flow and volume, streamlined workflows, enhanced collaboration and helped achieve better outcomes.
Before adopting AI, managing pulmonary embolism (PE) patients involved a nine-step process, averaging 17 hours from imaging to thrombectomy. With Aidoc’s AI solution, multiple steps now happen simultaneously.
The system alerts radiologists and the PERT team immediately after identifying a suspected PE, enabling faster triage, multidisciplinary assessment and treatment. This has reduced time to intervention by 40% — or about seven hours — and shortened ICU stays by three days per patient.
The benefits are not just clinical. Faster interventions have also led to cost savings, reducing ICU care expenses from $45,000 to $35,000 per patient, resulting in more than $500,000 in annual savings for the institution.
Dr. Steinberger walks through these findings in the clip below. Watch the full on-demand webinar, “AI and the Future of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Care,” for further insights from clinicians at Mount Sinai.
