I meet with health system executives routinely, and I hear very common themes: rising demand for care, a strained workforce and significant cost pressures. Clinicians are stretched. Patients are waiting. Hospitals are working to create more capacity without adding more complexity to a system already struggling to keep up with demand.
This “triple threat” is why the conversation about artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is changing – fast. For years, much of the discussion focused on what AI might someday make possible. Today, driven by the pressures on health systems, AI is moving from promise to practice, and it’s beginning to pay dividends.
