With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, smaller hospitals and health systems are looking for ways to leverage this technology to drive positive administrative and clinical outcomes. However, these organizations may not have the same level of resources or expertise as massive health systems. This week on HIMSSCast, Brent T. Hoard, a partner at Troutman Pepper, discusses how smaller healthcare players can participate in the AI revolution and where they should begin.
Hoard emphasizes the importance of AI in healthcare and provides guidance for smaller organizations looking to implement AI solutions. For these organizations, understanding the initial steps is key. From determining the areas where AI can have the most impact to addressing challenges and involving key stakeholders in the implementation process, there are crucial considerations that must be taken into account.
Despite their limited resources, smaller health systems can still harness the power of AI to improve healthcare outcomes and drive innovation in the industry. With the right approach and strategic guidance, these organizations can leverage AI to achieve their goals and stay competitive in today’s rapidly changing healthcare landscape.
