AI in Healthcare: Bringing Back Optimism for Sustainable Solutions

Pithy and Onpoint. Flow, flow, flow, The flow of the patient The flow of the physician The flow of information the flow of the money. Perhaps there are only to things that happen in the world. Things move and Time passes combined known a flow. To be fair we can argue about "things" from an existential framework and time from a perceptual framework. Yet that would take more space than and time than LinkedIn would allow.

I’ve been following how HCA Healthcare is approaching AI across both clinical and operational workflows. What interests me isn’t the technology itself, but where it can actually make healthcare better reducing administrative work, improving coordination, and giving care teams more time to focus on patients. HCA’s approach also puts a lot of emphasis on clinician involvement, governance, and keeping people in the loop From my experience, efficiency matters, but trust matters even more. Technology should make the patient experience feel more personal, not more automated. I think the healthcare organizations that use AI to support people rather than replace human judgment while keeping accountability and patient experience at the center will be the ones that create real long term value https://lnkd.in/eTAzCmdw

Patients are also consumers. And now there are clinical AI solutions that can give them the support they expect when it comes to their health. PatientGPT resolves their health concerns in a super high-quality, personalized manner. Read how we built it in Newsweek and how it enables AI and healthcare to merge into a seamless offering. It’s live now in multiple major health systems and will continue to evolve and help doctors and patiets win and get the best medical care.  https://lnkd.in/gBGypV74

AI is transforming healthcare, and non-clinical professionals have an important role to play. Staying informed on AI trends, innovation, and governance helps drive better decisions, improve operations, and support better patient outcomes. 👏👉 https://lnkd.in/gyAXZEZ6

Grateful to HIT Consultant for the opportunity to share my latest thinking: Capability vs. Aspiration: The New Litmus Test for AI in Healthcare. Every healthcare leader I talk to is navigating a flood of AI vendor promises and aspirational pitches, and not nearly enough clarity on what's actually ready to deploy. In this piece, I offer a practical litmus test for separating what's market-ready from what's still a vision, especially for healthcare foodservice, where the margin for error has to be zero. Three questions I'd start with when evaluating any AI tool for a clinical environment: Is it solving a specific, documented problem? Is it trained on data that reflects real operating conditions? Is there a human accountable for every output that touches a patient? Thanks again to the team at HIT Consultant for the platform to share this with the community. Would love to hear how other health system and foodservice leaders are validating AI tools against criteria like these. #HealthcareAI #DigitalHealth #PatientSafety #HealthcareFoodservice https://lnkd.in/e5ZwHnXH

Our co-founder Aditya Bansod is a self-described "AI optimist, but also realist." He's spent 11+ years helping health systems adopt new ways of working with technology. And he believes the healthcare industry is at a huge inflection point. The change is headless AI. AI to date still leaves the staff-powered, manual healthcare operating model intact. Headless AI will finally take that coordination off of people and bring intelligence across disparate systems. Read the article: https://hubs.ly/Q04s-fWY0

Seema Verma shares how secure, contextual AI can turn clinical documentation into easily understandable information that improves patient experiences and helps to keep them engaged in their care. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eVQiD6nD

Kienan O'Brien wanted to learn more about how health systems were thinking about technology in the midst of an AI gold rush and coming up on the fifteenth anniversary of Meaningful Use. Where do executives put their dollars? The result is the most impactful survey of the year. 100+ health system executive responses. Fierce Healthcare and Heather Landi break it down here:

Our latest research, The Epic Effect, explores how AI is changing technology decisions across health systems. While health system leaders expect Epic to play a significant role in their AI strategy, they also see opportunities for external partners that can address specific needs, integrate with existing systems, and deliver value quickly. As AI adoption grows, AI buying decisions may also happen at the department or service-line level. For health tech companies, understanding where and how those decisions get made will matter as much as what they build. Fierce Healthcare takes a closer look at the findings: https://lnkd.in/e8E2Jxwq Thank you Kienan O'Brien for helping bring these insights to life.
