Hospitals are often caught in a tug-of-war choosing between time-tested methods and the razor’s edge of new research when it comes to adopting new treatments, processes, and technology. Venturing into the uncharted waters of advanced technologies and innovative techniques can be unsettling, but the payoff for hospital systems and patients can lead to improved patient experience, quality, and outcomes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is among the emerging technologies that are being increasingly leveraged throughout the healthcare industry, especially in the research and development of new medications. Bringing Artificial Intelligence tools into the hospital can streamline and accelerate processes in almost every department, enabling care providers to transition from reactive to proactive care to drive better outcomes.

Optimize Record-Keeping
How many times have you felt like you’re not being heard by your doctor during office visits because they are staring at the computer documenting, instead of focusing on you? If AI is taking notes, that doctor/patient disconnect could become a thing of the past. Administrative tasks are pervasive in our healthcare system today, and paperwork errors can cause slowdowns and frustration that prevent patients from getting efficient care. AI solutions that focus on learning human language patterns are invaluable to classifying and organizing clinical documents. With an AI tool sorting the many layers of documentation and notes that hospitals generate, hospital administrative teams can get the right information quickly. AI documentation tools can also discover patterns in clinical notes and aggregate data leveraging a methodology that improves patient outcomes. And, according to Forbes, administrative automation could save the healthcare industry $18 billion.
