AI cuts cardiologists' echocardiogram review time by 46%

AI cuts cardiologists' echocardiogram review time by 46%

Late-breaking research presented November 9 at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2026 reported that AI-drafted preliminary echocardiogram reports were comparable to human drafts. Cardiologists averaged 4.6 minutes finalizing AI drafts versus 8.5 minutes without AI. The findings are a non-peer-reviewed abstract.

  • 01Cardiologists averaged 4.6 minutes finalizing AI-drafted echo reports versus 8.5 minutes without AI, about 46% less time.
  • 02Cardiologists made substantial changes to 50.6% of AI drafts and 49.7% of human drafts.
  • 03The research used 1,200 echocardiograms from 21 Kaiser Permanente Northern California medical centers.

After Chicago: Did AI at AHA 2026 Pass Its Own Test?

After Chicago: Did AI at AHA 2026 Pass Its Own Test?

At AHA Scientific Sessions 2026 in Chicago, AI ECHO INSIGHT, WATCH-LV, PARAMOUNT and PROVAR+ showed gains in workflow efficiency, screening and treatment decisions, but none established a reduction in hard clinical events. The takeaway: the next test is proving these tools improve outcomes, especially in high-need populations, by connecting to established care.

  • 01AI ECHO INSIGHT cut echo reads 8.5 to 4.6 minutes, and PARAMOUNT changed treatment decisions, but no AI late-breaker showed fewer hard events.
  • 02ZEUS and Lp(a)HORIZON lowered their target biomarkers without reducing major cardiovascular events, a caution against treating algorithmic accuracy alone as proof of patient benefit.
  • 03Low-technology, team-based interventions such as CATCH in Colombia and Jamaica lowered blood pressure, showing the care systems AI tools must connect to.

Hospitals can meet antibiotic stewardship rules without a full-time ID hire

Hospitals can meet antibiotic stewardship rules without a full-time ID hire

Access TeleCare pharmacist Ashley Selby describes a telehealth antimicrobial stewardship model sized to each hospital's gaps. Joint Commission Standard MM.09.01.01 and 42 CFR 482.42 require a qualified physician and/or pharmacist leader, not a full-time hire, and a 14-study meta-analysis found telehealth stewardship cut antibiotic days of therapy without changing mortality.

  • 01Joint Commission Standard MM.09.01.01, in force since January 2023, requires a physician and/or pharmacist qualified in infectious diseases or stewardship to lead the program, and its committee note allows remote participation.
  • 02The Board of Pharmacy Specialties counts more than 2,380 BCIDP pharmacists nationally, while many small hospitals still assign stewardship to pharmacists without ID training.
  • 03A 14-study meta-analysis found telehealth stewardship raised guideline adherence and cut antibiotic days of therapy, but did not significantly change mortality.
