Challenges such as workforce shortages that are not getting any better and tight funding are driving the healthcare industry toward AI deployment, says Rob Havasy, HIMSS senior director of informatics strategy.

The company says the model excels in healthcare applications, outperforming previous models on real-world clinical tasks and is already being adopted by healthcare companies.

Clinicians need to have integrity with how they present AI tools to their teams, focusing on how those tools can solve problems, says Josh Wymer, chief health information and data strategy officer at the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.

When implementing AI-powered assistants and ambient technologies, it is essential to know if what you are buying is an actual assistant and if it has features beyond just clinical documentation, says Punit Soni, founder and CEO of Suki.

The company is adding 4,200 clinics to its provider network and enabling cost-sharing as well as direct claims payment to providers and clinicians.

If organizations are more transparent with clinicians and patients about AI adoption and deployment, stakeholders would feel more secure with it, says Nicole Ramage, senior market insights manager at HIMSS.

While most provider and payer organizations are using some form of AI, very few are getting demonstrable value at scale across the enterprise, says Tom Lawry, managing director of Second Century Tech.
