Strategic Planning

The question becomes not whether AI can predict disease, but what physicians should tell patients, ethically, such as their chances of getting cancer, says Dr. Lukasz Kowalczyk, a physician at Colorado-based Peak Gastroenterology Associates.  

Fifteen percent of providers and 25% of payers report having an established AI strategy in 2024.

The two organizations are also growing their healthcare services to support Florida's veterans and service members.

There's a hesitancy to trust generative AI, but, at the same time, clinicians don't want to miss a diagnosis, says Dr. Antoine Keller, cardiothoracic surgeon at Ochsner Lafayette Hospital.  

Because there are barriers to adoption and trust, solutions need to be useful, be transparent around information that goes into performance and be safe, fair and cybersecure, says Dr. Sonya Makhni, medical director of applied informatics at Mayo Clinic Platform.

Deploying AI needs a strategy for use cases that starts with identifying problems that need to be solved, says Michael Pencina, director of Duke AI Health.

Accessing the funds requires a dedication of time to register and a continuing commitment for an investment longer term, says Kelly Arduino, a healthcare industry leader at Wipfli.

The two-phase expansion includes adding nearly 8,000 square feet to the surgical wing and a new clinic building.

Considerations include what stage of adoption hospitals are in, the challenges and benefits of the technology and the protection of patient data, says HIMSS senior market insights manager Nicole Ramage.

Generative AI is working, and the hallucination problems are easing, says Rob Havasy, senior director of informatics strategy at HIMSS.
