Healthcare systems are under immense pressure to enhance patient experiences, improve outcomes, streamline operations, and address significant staffing shortages. The strain on the workforce is undeniable — the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that hospital employment dropped by nearly 100,000 between February 2020 and September 2021. In fact, nearly one-third of healthcare professionals considered leaving the field during the pandemic. As hospitals continue to grapple with these workforce gaps, the demand for technology-driven solutions has never been greater. From remote patient monitoring to streamlined communication platforms, AV solutions are increasingly vital in helping care teams do more with less while maintaining high standards of care.

But how exactly can AV professionals align their capabilities with the complex and risk-averse world of healthcare without overreaching or underdelivering?

On this episode of Pro AV Today, host Ben Thomas is joined by Mike Dermont, Healthcare Solutions Leader at Diversified, for a discussion on how the AV industry can better serve the healthcare market. The two discuss current challenges, best practices for integration, and the importance of customizing solutions to meet the specific needs of clinical environments.

The conversation delves into…

  • How AV is helping shift healthcare from a transactional model to a relationship-based journey by supporting personalized, comforting, and responsive patient environments.
  • How technologies such as remote monitoring, PTZ cameras, and integrated nurse call systems enable clinical teams to manage more patients efficiently, reducing burnout and improving care quality.
  • The success in healthcare AV requires more than technology. It demands collaboration with risk, infosec, clinical, and legal teams to meet stringent HIPAA and cybersecurity standards.

Mike Dermont is the Healthcare Solutions Leader at Diversified, a global technology integrator. He has over two decades of experience spanning emergency medical transport and healthcare consulting. Dermont brings a holistic understanding of patient care delivery and operational transformation. At Diversified, he spearheads AV strategy for hospitals and life sciences clients, helping them align technology investments with care quality and business goals.

Suki raises $90M to take its AI scribe beyond note-taking

The funding backs a bet that scribes become clinicians' main AI interface, which changes how health systems evaluate them.

  • 01An ambient scribe already holds the patient context from the visit, and in early testing that context drove clinicians to prefer context-aware UpToDate answers 83% of the time.
  • 02Once a scribe starts answering clinical questions, note accuracy stops being enough to judge it. The Suki and Regenstrief evaluation framework is the marker to watch for metrics that cover answers too.

SCI recruits funeral sales as the career AI cannot replace

SCI recruits funeral sales as the career AI cannot replace

SCI's recruiting video positions funeral and cremation sales as a career resistant to automation by emphasizing the human trust required in end-of-life planning. The pitch frames the role as requiring both compassion and sales drive, targets people outside the industry, and leans on demographic demand from an aging population to argue for job stability.

  • 01More than 11,000 Americans turn 65 daily, SCI says demand will grow.
  • 02SCI seeks candidates with dual traits: compassion and empathy alongside sales-oriented drive and tenacity.
  • 03The role requires no prior industry experience; SCI provides training, coaching, and technology to prepare newcomers.
