Providence’s Virtual Acute Care Program Continues to Thrive

The Challenge

Anyone caring for critically ill patients knows that access to specialists and high-demand providers within hospitals is essential to achieving good outcomes and supporting patients and caregivers. Scheduled and on-demand access to neurologists, infectious disease specialists, hospitalists, intensivists, and psychiatrists is proven to address these goals. However, the workforce crisis is making the job of staffing to need a tough battle.

The Proposal

To address these challenges, Providence has been developing the Providence Virtual Acute Care program over the last 10 years. "Here at Providence, we have been at the forefront of delivering virtual acute care services since the beginning – so we’ve been developing and learning what makes an effective program," said Sherene Schlegel, RN, COO and CNO, Virtual Care and Digital Health at Providence.

Meeting the Challenge

The Providence Virtual Acute Care service has evolved into a highly valuable, comprehensive, and scalable program that is meeting the needs of the health system’s hospitals and other hospitals in the referral networks. There are six core components to the program.

Components

  • Providers: The service starts with providers. "We don’t just integrate with Providence, we are Providence," Schlegel explained. "Our service was built by and for our hospitals and referral hospitals, and our providers are Providence employees who meet or exceed our standards for employment and service levels.
  • Clinical Quality Programs and Analytics: Staff layer on top of all of this a standards-based quality program that incorporates ongoing monitoring for adherence and reporting against established KPIs – including quality of patient care, programs, and physicians.
  • Customized Clinical Design: The hospital-specific clinical design process recognizes the unique service availability, referral preferences, and operational norms of a hospital and optimizes workflows accordingly. The system is deeply integrated into existing workflow, processes, and operations, while adhering to and supporting Providence standards of care, governance models, and mission.
  • One-Call-For-All Service: "Our unprecedented ‘one-call-for-all,’ real-time patient support manages immediate action for any hospital requirement or issue," Schlegel explained. "Our Digital Access Center ensures clinicians and stakeholders get the crucial assistance they need to perform at their best.
  • Cross-Providence Exam Technology: "We are equipped with high-definition cameras and integrated peripheral devices that allow the facilitation of comprehensive, remote examinations," Schlegel noted. "Our exam hardware and software are standardized across Providence to deliver a price, support, and experience advantage.
  • Telemedicine Resource Center: Last, we provide shared services that support our hospitals as they transition toward a virtual care augmented hospital. We provide learning and education opportunities for every level and function, helping the organizations we serve to manage the differences and complexities of telehealth operations.

Results

Virtual care at Providence is proving to be an important component of the health system’s care delivery. Today, the health system has more than 250 virtually enabled acute care clinicians delivering service in more than 100 sites in eight states, and delivers more than a million patient encounters every year.

Advice for Others

"I would emphasize the critical role virtual care plays in mitigating clinician shortages and allowing patients to have access to care regardless of their geographic location," Schlegel said. "Virtual care not only alleviates staffing constraints but also enhances patient outcomes by providing timely access to expert care – and is incredibly meaningful to families who are able to keep their loved ones close to home.

Mastering the Basics: 10 Video Editing Tips and Tricks for Beginners

Launching Premiere Pro for the First Time: A Step-by-Step Guide

Try Premier Pro for Free

1. Import Footage

Importing footage is but a click away. Adobe projects all launch in a similar way, by presenting you with the app’s Home Page. From there, you can check the software’s latest features, open a project not shown in your list of recent ones, or create a new one from scratch, among others.

Clicking on ‘New Project’ reveals a smaller window through which you give your project a name, and choose where to save it. Once you’ve clicked on ‘Create’, you’re taken to the ‘Import’ space (you can’t edit without having imported clips first).

A sidebar to the left lets you navigate through your local and online devices. Should you not have some footage at hand, ‘Sample Media’ would be a good alternative. Locate the files you need, and click on them to select them. Once you’re happy with what you’ve got, click on ‘Import’ (lower right of the interface).

2. Add First Clip

Now that your clips have been imported, you’re automatically taken into the ‘Edit’ space, with your imported clips lower left of the interface. You’ll notice that they’ve also all been automatically placed in your timeline (lower right).

For the purposes of this exercise, we don’t want clips in the timeline just yet, so click on one, go to Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Ripple Delete.

Mouse over one of your clips in your Library. As you do so, notice that you’re in fact scrolling through your footage. This is a great way to quickly preview your clip and make sure you’ve chosen the right one.

Most of the time, you only need part of a clip. To do this, as you mouse over, hit the ‘i’ key to set an ‘in point’, and the ‘o’ key, for the ‘out point’, then drag that clip’s thumbnail onto your Timeline.

3. Working the Timeline

Add additional clips to your project, one after the other, as we described in Step 2. This creates a very basic edit, but you can add a degree of complexity to your project by placing clips on different layers. If you look to the left of the Timeline, all your video clips should be on the ‘V1’ layer.

So this time, add a clip anywhere on ‘V2’. Any clip under this new one will be obstructed by it.

You could use this technique for instance to keep hearing what’s going on in V1 while changing the visual to what you placed in V2.

Your clips’ in and out points are not set in stone: check the clip on V2 and mouse over one of its edges. The cursor changes shape and turns red. You can then drag its edge in either direction to alter its edit point.

4. Adding Effects

As you build your edit, you may wish to alter the clips you’re using. You might want to zoom into the footage for instance. To do this, select a clip you’ve added in the timeline. This should reveal numerous parameters in the ‘Effects Control’ panel, top left of the interface. From there, locate ‘Scale’ which is currently set to ‘100’. You can either click on it to type in a new value, or click and drag left or right on the current value to gradually increase or decrease the clip’s size. You can do the same with ‘Position’ to change the part of the image you see in your timeline.

In the Lower Left panel, you’ll find an ‘Effects’ tab. Scroll through, find ‘Gaussian Blur’ for instance, and drag it to the ‘Effects Controls’ panel to add it to your selected clip (you can also drag it to the clip – or any other clip for that matter – in the Timeline), and manipulate it as above.

5. Adding Title

Adding a title is a tad more complicated as it involves changing your workspace to gain access to all available title templates. To do this, go to the main menu bar and select Window > Workspaces > Graphics. The whole interface will change. Top right, you’ll find the ‘Graphics Templates’ panel. Select it, and scroll down until you find one you’re happy with, then drag it to your timeline, above your existing clips.

Now you need to customise your title. To change the wording, simply double-click on it in the main preview window (top right).

Should you need to make additional changes to your title, click on the ‘Effects Controls’ panel (top left) and scroll down until you see ‘Text’. To its left is a chevron. Click on it to reveal all its changeable parameters.

6. Sharing Your Work

You’ve created a project, dragged various clips onto it, applied some effects and even added a title. Sounds like you’re ready to export your work.

To do this, click on the Export menu, top left of the interface (it’s the menu with a home icon to its left). The interface changes again, this time giving you all the tools you need to perform the action at hand.

The default setting is ‘Media File’ which will export your project at the same resolution and quality as you’ve been working on. This is great for archival purposes, but more often than not would create files that are too large to share on social media.

Thankfully, Premiere Pro allows you to share your work directly to various sites, such as Facebook, YouTube and TikTok. All you need to do is sign in to your accounts (you can export simultaneously to numerous platforms), trust the presets as they are, and click on ‘Export’ (lower right).

Conclusion

In this step-by-step guide, we’ve walked you through the basics of launching Premiere Pro, creating a new project, importing footage, adding clips, effects, and titles, and sharing your work. With these fundamental steps, you’re ready to start creating your own videos using Adobe Premiere Pro.

FAQs

Q: How do I import footage into Premiere Pro?
A: You can import footage by clicking on ‘New Project’ and selecting ‘Import’ from the drop-down menu.

Q: How do I add clips to my project?
A: You can add clips to your project by dragging and dropping them from the ‘Import’ window into the ‘Edit’ space.

Q: How do I add effects to my clips?
A: You can add effects to your clips by selecting them in the ‘Edit’ space and then dragging and dropping the desired effect from the ‘Effects’ tab in the Lower Left panel into the ‘Effects Controls’ panel.

Q: How do I add a title to my project?
A: You can add a title to your project by going to the ‘Graphics’ workspace and selecting a title template from the ‘Graphics Templates’ panel, then dragging it to your timeline.

Vibe Coding: Promise and Peril

Vibe Coding: Promise and Peril

Developers Speak Out on Vibe Coding

The internet and my inbox have been abuzz with buzz about vibe coding. Vibe coding, if you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks, is the practice of letting an AI guide your coding while you sit back, drink coffee, watch YouTube videos, and play Cities: Skylines 2, all while taking to Reddit and sharing your opinion on the ranking of Star Wars vs. Star Trek vs. Stargate.

For the record, it’s Stargate, then Star Trek, then Star Wars, but I digress. Seriously, vibe coding was a term coined by a former OpenAI founder and master programmer who waxed poetic about using an AI to do a lot of his coding’s more prosaic work. I went into substantial depth about that post and the definition of vibe coding in my previous article on the topic.

Developers Speak Out

I decided to reach out to real professional developers and ask their opinions. As you’re about to see, some like the concept and say that AIs are saving them a ton of time, but most are concerned that non-pro developers and junior coders might miss important coding considerations and thereby produce code that’s somewhere on the spectrum from junk to janky to downright dangerous.

Todd Olson, Co-Founder/CEO of Pendo

Vibe coding changes how we build, but not why we build. The goal isn’t to produce more software; it’s to create better software experiences. Without a clear understanding of user needs, vibe coding risks amplifying misalignment at scale.

Chris Reynolds, Developer Advocate and Software Engineer at Pantheon

The most important thing for me about vibe coding is that there needs to be a human operator who is actually smarter than the computer. One of the problems of using LLMs for development is they make stuff up that sounds feasible, and they only do deeper research or consider things like security or best practices if prompted.

Jamie Marsland, YouTube Manager and Developer at Automattic

We’re entering a new era where the web becomes a canvas for dynamic, app-like experiences. As AI, no-code tools, and automation remove technical barriers, creators of all kinds are free to build richer, more interactive digital worlds. The lines between websites and apps are blurring — and with it comes a surge of creativity that redefines what’s possible online.

Bill Salak, CTO of School Test Prep Service Brainly

In tech, vibe coding, we refine, restructure, and test the code, cutting down development time significantly. In a recent AI-powered session, I entered the requirements for a new product, switched back to my other work, and checked back a few minutes later. Within 20 minutes, I had a functional prototype ready for refinement and testing. AI has been a game-changer in our ability to quickly deliver features that customers want, and vibe coding has proven to be my go-to approach for rapidly building MVPs.

Leonardo Losoviz, Developer of WordPress Data Management Plugin Gato GraphQL

I’m currently integrating my plugin Gato GraphQL to use vibe coding to create extensions, with the goal of creating all the extensions that my customers are demanding in a couple of weeks (normally it’d take a few months).

John Campbell, Director of Content Engineering at Security Journey

Vibe coding is set to revolutionize software development by making developers more efficient and enabling individuals with limited technical expertise to expand their access to software tools. However, there are concerns. Just like a teenager experiencing the thrill of driving for the first time, that freedom would quickly turn to chaos without traffic laws, safety features, and guardrails.

Rhys Wynn, Freelance WordPress Developer

I think vibe coding is a phrase invented by people who think that AI-generated code is safe and secure, and want to position themselves in a market they maybe shouldn’t be in. Every single vibe coding project I’ve seen has been insecure, not able to answer a use case, or just emulating better things that exist already.

What Does it All Mean?

Some developers have seen rapid improvements in coding time using AI development tools. However, the prevailing opinion amongst nearly all the developers here is that (a) vibe coding is not for newbies, and (b) vibe coding could leave some problematic security and reliability problems.

Conclusion

Vibe coding, for a very experienced developer, is kind of like being in a flow state. A lot of work can be accomplished by being in flow. But the prevailing opinion amongst nearly all the developers here is that (a) vibe coding is not for newbies, and (b) vibe coding could leave some problematic security and reliability problems.

FAQs

Q: What is vibe coding?
A: Vibe coding is the practice of letting an AI guide your coding while you sit back and let the AI do the work for you.

Q: Is vibe coding safe?
A: Some developers are concerned that vibe coding could leave some problematic security and reliability problems.

Q: Is vibe coding for newbies?
A: No, the prevailing opinion amongst nearly all the developers here is that vibe coding is not for newbies.

Q: What are the benefits of vibe coding?
A: Some developers have seen rapid improvements in coding time using AI development tools.

Q: What are the risks of vibe coding?
A: The risks of vibe coding include problematic security and reliability problems.

Typographic Harmony: How MoMA, Paul Rand, and More Masterfully Combine Form and Function

The Silent Power of Typography

01. Mailchimp

Mailchimp is an all-in-one marketing platform primarily known for its email marketing services. Its typeface is Means (primary) and Graphik (secondary).

Why it works: An elegant serif infused with a quirky warmth, the primary brand typeface for Mailchimp, Means, projects trustworthiness, optimism, and sincerity. Graphik adds a touch of personality for headings and accents. This combination creates a welcoming and engaging experience for users. The difference lies in their purpose: the heading typeface injects a sense of whimsy and memorability, drawing attention and reinforcing Mailchimp’s distinctive branding, while the body text typeface prioritizes clarity, allowing users to easily digest information.

02. The New York Times

The New York Times website serves as the online presence of the renowned The New York Times newspaper and its typeface is Cheltenham (primary) and Franklin Gothic (secondary).

Why it works: The New York Times maintains its classic newspaper heritage with Cheltenham, conveying authority and trustworthiness. The addition of Franklin Gothic for headings and digital interfaces provides a modern edge and improves readability on screens. This contrast serves to establish a clear visual hierarchy: the serif headings command attention and signal the importance of the content, while the sans-serif body text ensures a comfortable and efficient reading experience for the extensive articles.

03. Uber

Uber is a technology platform that connects riders with drivers for transportation services. The mobile app is also an important artifact in the drivers and riders’ user journey and is used as the main digital touchpoint between the brand and the customers. It uses Uber Move, a custom typeface.

Why it works: Uber Move is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed specifically for the brand. Its clean lines and simple forms reflect efficiency and modernity, which are key aspects of the Uber brand. It’s optimized for legibility across various devices and supports multiple languages.

04. Medium

Medium is an online publishing platform where people can write and publish articles, and readers can discover and engage with content. Its typefaces are Charter (primary) and Sohne (secondary).

Why it works: Charter’s readability and slightly informal feel make it ideal for long-form reading, which is central to Medium’s platform. It creates a comfortable and inviting reading experience, encouraging users to engage with the content. This choice is paramount for a platform dedicated to in-depth articles and essays.

05. Resend

Resend provides an email API and platform that allows developers and businesses to reliably send transactional emails, such as password resets, order confirmations, and welcome messages, with a focus on ease of integrations. Its typeface is aBCFavorit (primary) and Inter (secondary).

Why it works: Resend.com utilizes clean, readable sans-serif typography, including monospaced fonts for code and Inter for body texts, to project a modern, reliable, and technically proficient brand image. This deliberate choice reinforces their core values of efficiency and trust. The typeface aBCFavorit, a grotesque sans-serif by Dinamo, offers a balance of geometric clarity and unique, slightly humorous details, making it versatile for titles and primary texts.

06. Oura

Oura has a smart ring and accompanying app that tracks various aspects of your health and sleep. It uses AkkuratLL and Editorial News as its typefaces.

Why it works: Oura primarily employs the clean and modern AkkuratLL sans-serif typeface for body text and headings, ensuring readability and a sleek aesthetic, complemented by a bolder, slightly more stylized sans-serif called Editorial News for key elements only. This pairing creates a great visual hierarchy, guiding the user’s eye and adding a touch of sophistication.

07. Inne

Inne.io provides a hormone tracking device and app that allows women to monitor their fertility and hormonal health at home by analyzing saliva samples. In terms of typefaces, it uses Oceanic Text (primary) and GT America Inne (secondary).

Why it works: Inne.io utilizes Oceanic Text for headings, a typeface with a condensed and technical feel, conveying precision and innovation. This contrasts with GT America Inne for body text, a variation from the classic and readable GT America font that prioritizes clarity and accessibility.

Critics of UK’s AI copyright proposal must not ‘resist change’, says minister

UK Tech Secretary Urges Cooperation on AI Copyright Reform

Government weighs 11,000 responses to consultation on future of copyright and AI

UK technology secretary Peter Kyle has urged opponents of a new artificial intelligence copyright regime not to "resist change", as he prepares to rule on proposals that have enraged British musicians and filmmakers.

Background

Thousands of people working in the British creative and media industries have protested against the UK’s proposed system that would require every company, artist or author to opt out of their work being incorporated into AI systems by tech companies.

Government’s Position

Promising the UK’s Labour government will "prioritise… forward movement", Kyle stressed he did not want to set the country’s filmmakers and musicians against technology companies, but said they would "find a way through it".

"Just as in every other time there is change in society, there will be some people who will either resist change or try to make change too difficult to deliver," Kyle told the Financial Times. "That’s why it is important we have a government that will prioritise the forward movement of our society, economy and government itself, so all are fit to seize the opportunities of the future."

Consultation Response

Speaking on the sidelines of US chipmaker Nvidia’s GTC conference in the heart of Silicon Valley last week, Kyle said the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology was weighing more than 11,000 responses to its consultation on the future of copyright and AI, and planned to legislate "in due course".

Stakeholders’ Concerns

The copyright changes have become contentious among British media groups, with the co-chair of studio Working Title Films, Eric Fellner, calling them an "existential threat" to the country’s creative industries.

Government’s Plan

Kyle said the UK would "find a way through it and get both sectors facing the future and fit for the digital age, and fit for having the rights and protections and the ability to earn money in the digital age".

Data Centre Plans

The UK government is also planning to establish "AI growth zones" to attract investment for new data centres, with one potential site having close to 2 gigawatts of power available, which would be enough to support hundreds of thousands of the powerful Nvidia chips that tech companies rely upon to build and deploy cutting-edge AI systems.

Conclusion

As the UK government weighs the responses to its consultation on the future of copyright and AI, it is clear that the proposed system has sparked strong reactions from various stakeholders. While some have expressed concerns about the potential impact on the creative industries, others have emphasized the need for a more forward-thinking approach to copyright law in the age of AI. As the government moves forward with its plans, it will be interesting to see how it balances the interests of different stakeholders and ultimately shapes the future of copyright and AI in the UK.

FAQs

Q: What is the UK government’s position on AI copyright reform?
A: The UK government is committed to finding a way forward that balances the interests of different stakeholders, including the creative industries and technology companies.

Q: What is the current state of the consultation on the future of copyright and AI?
A: The consultation has received over 11,000 responses, and the government plans to legislate "in due course".

Bizarre AI Tesla Cybertruck Ad Has the Internet Fooled

AI Video Generation: A New Era of Advertising or a Desperate Last Resort?

The Rise of AI-Generated Content

AI video generation has been rapidly advancing, with some impressive results. The technology has become so sophisticated that it’s now possible to create convincing AI-generated content that can be mistaken for real. A recent example of this is a fan-made AI-generated ad for Tesla’s Cybertruck, which has been circulating online.

The Ad

The ad was created by Justin Hounkpatin, who goes by the name Loop’n’Mix, for his YouTube channel AI Fiction Factory. The 2-minute video is a scripted piece that showcases the features and capabilities of the Cybertruck. The video quality is impressive, with smooth transitions and realistic visuals. However, the script is somewhat bland and lacks the excitement and enthusiasm one would expect from a real ad.

The Response

The ad has been shared on various online platforms, including social media and forums. Many people have been fooled into thinking it’s an official Tesla ad, with some even praising the ad’s creative direction. However, others have pointed out the ad’s limitations, noting that it lacks the emotional appeal and creativity of a professional ad.

The Verdict

The response to the ad has sparked debate about the future of advertising and the role of AI in the industry. On one hand, the ad demonstrates the rapid progress being made in AI video generation. On the other hand, it raises questions about the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on AI-generated content.

Conclusion

The future of advertising is likely to be shaped by the intersection of AI and creative content. As AI technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see more sophisticated and convincing AI-generated content. However, it’s important for advertisers to remember that AI should be used as a tool, not a replacement for human creativity and expertise.

FAQs

Q: Is the ad officially endorsed by Tesla?
A: No, the ad was created by a fan and is not endorsed by Tesla.

Q: How long did it take to create the ad?
A: According to the creator, it took about three weeks to make, including a week spent on the script.

Q: What tools were used to create the ad?
A: The creator used a range of generative AI tools, including Google DeepMind’s Veo 2, Freepik’s Imagen 3, and LumaAI’s Ray 2.

Q: Is the ad available to watch?
A: Yes, the ad can be found on the YouTube channel AI Fiction Factory.
