Enhancing care experiences

Delivering safe, high-quality care during its more than 43 million annual patient encounters is HCA Healthcare’s top priority. Last year, 32 HCA Healthcare hospitals were recognized on the Fortune/PINC AI 100 Top Hospitals list, and in early 2024, 54 HCA Healthcare hospitals were included on Healthgrades’ 250 Best Hospitals list for clinical excellence.

HCA Healthcare has continued to integrate healthcare technology through strategic collaborations to help deliver high-quality patient care. In August 2023, HCA Healthcare and Google Cloud announced a collaboration to use generative AI to assist care teams with time-consuming tasks like documentation. HCA Healthcare has also developed a scheduling and staffing solution for nurses, which is currently in operation at nine HCA Healthcare facilities, with an additional 21 hospitals scheduled for deployment in early 2024. Additionally, the company is implementing a new electronic health record (EHR) system to help create efficiencies for care teams, improve coordination of care for patients and power innovation. The company’s department of Care Transformation and Innovation (CT&I) continues to work closely with highly engaged clinicians to refine tools like these and to expand the use of technology throughout the organization.
