AI is not a trend; it’s a strategic enabler for transformation. To truly reimagine the hospital for the 21st century, health systems must marry AI with automated workflows, normalized data, and change management expertise to navigate through disruption towards results. Long term success also depends upon building a culture that supports ambitious innovation through a commitment to operational excellence, workforce development, and process improvement. When this foundation is applied, AI-based solutions, including predictive and prescriptive analytics and now generative AI, can empower and influence all levels of care — operationally and clinically — and drive remarkable outcomes throughout the entire system.

Take the first step towards unlocking capacity, generating ROI, and increasing patient access.
If you work in the healthcare industry, or even if you’re just an interested observer, you don’t need a book to tell you that the financial pressure is on as never before. A perfect storm of circumstances is swirling together, one that will make survivability, not to mention profitability, a greater challenge for healthcare companies than we’ve seen in the modern era.
As with banks, retailers, and airlines, which had to rapidly enhance their brick-and-mortar footprints with robust online business models—it is the early movers eager to gain new efficiencies that will thrive and gain market share. The slow-to-move and the inefficient will end up being consolidated into larger health systems seeking to expand their geographical footprints.
Let’s look at just a few of the looming challenges healthcare must meet head-on.
An aging population
By the year 2030, the number of adults sixty-five years of age or older will exceed the number of children eighteen years or younger in the United States. We are living longer than our parents did. Positive news for sure, but problematic for several reasons.
The older we get, the more medical help we need. Older people have more chronic diseases. By 2025, nearly 50 percent of the population will suffer from one or more chronic diseases that will require ongoing medical intervention. This combination of an aging population and an increase in chronic diseases will create a ballooning demand for healthcare services.
