The Evolution of AI in Healthcare: Navigating the New Normal

On March 8,2024, Dr. Cordes wrote a blog on her website about AI and healthcare. Here is an excerpt:

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare has transitioned from an emerging trend to a near-ubiquitous force over the last decade. Adoption of AI in healthcare has shifted significantly, with AI adoption among physicians increasing from 10%-30% pre-pandemic to 40% today. The enthusiasm for AI’s potential to alleviate the burdens of administrative tasks—such as documentation and prior authorizations — is evident, with half of the physicians surveyed expressing a keen interest in these use cases. More than 70% of physicians believe AI has the power to enhance diagnostic ability.

 The demand

There is a growing number of clinical and operational use cases driving rapid expansion of AI in healthcare. For administrators, connecting disjointed revenue cycle datasets to generate accurate outputs is crucial to the financial health of organizations still recovering from the pandemic. For clinicians, the use of AI to automate routine tasks and expand capabilities allows them to work top of license – improving their experience while driving efficiency in a market fraught with labor shortages. Additionally shifting to a proactive model of care presents opportunities for AI to assist in early detection and prediction of diseases. For patients, creating a more frictionless care experience requires AI to leverage the vast amount of data across multiple venues of care and deliver the information and outcomes patients need, whenever and wherever they need it.
