The Dual Reality of Healthcare System Tech Options: AI vs Fax As we continue to explore the #transformative impact of #artificialintelligence in #healthcare , it’s essential to address the juxtaposition of cutting-edge technology and legacy systems. Just today, I received a LinkedIn message emphasizing the virtues of a more efficient faxing solution, a technology rooted in the past. The reality of healthcare systems is that they are slow to adopt new #technologies. While we stand on the cusp of a significant paradigm shift with #AI, the transition is more incremental than we might anticipate. In the short to medium term, the adoption of AI in healthcare is likely to manifest in two primary categories: 1) AI-Enabled, Flexible Automation: Initial forays into AI will likely be focused on enhancing operational efficiencies rather than direct clinical applications. 2) FDA-Approved Tools: More mature applications will come in the form of FDA-approved technologies aimed at improving diagnostics in fields like pathology and radiology. For those interested in exploring actionable use cases with tangible ROI and impact, my team and I at Reveal HealthTech are happy to offer a focused workshop to walk you through the process on how to develop a framework that balances risk, impact and #ROI. Reach out to us, and let's work together to realize the full potential of AI in healthcare. #AIinHealthcare #Innovation #ROI #HealthcareTransformation #hospitals #innovation #strategy
