Looking at unlimited possibilities with limited budgets, hospital and health system executives are learning strategically how and where to use AI technology for value creation. Their AI budgets are prioritizing patient access, revenue cycle management and operational throughput use cases that yield a tangible return on investment (ROI). Integrating AI into clinical care can enhance patient outcomes across health care settings and produce significant savings and improvements in health; however, challenges related to data privacy, bias and the need for human expertise must be addressed to implement AI responsibly and effectively.</p><p>The AHA Center for Health Innovation produced this Market Insights report for executives of hospitals and health systems to guide them as they journey into the use of artificial intelligence and AI-powered technologies to transform their organizations’ operations. This report is based on information and insights from interviews with 12 health care AI experts and leaders, published health care articles, presentations, reports, research and surveys on health care AI.</p></div></div><div class="row y-hr3"><div class="col-md-3"> </div><div class="col-md-6"> </div><div class="col-md-3"> </div></div> .t-data { margin-bottom: 25px } .t-data h2{ margin-bottom:25px } .t-data .t-dataBar-1 > div{ border-top: solid 25px #253b80; border-left:solid 3px #9d2235; padding-left:10px; padding-top:10px; padding-bottom:10px; min-height: ; margin-bottom: 10px; } .t-data .t-dataBar-1 h2{ display: block; clear: both; font-size: 1.1em; color: #5fa1d0; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1em; margin-bottom: 0px; /* If not Data # */ } .rowEqual { display: -webkit-box; display: -webkit-flex; display: -ms-flexbox; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; padding: 10px; } .rowEqual>[class*='col-'] { display: flex; } <div class="row"><h2>Foundational Building Blocks</h2><div class="rowEqual row t-data"><div class="t-dataBar-1 col-md-4"><div><h3>People</h3><p>Getting the people right is the hardest part of an effective AI action plan.
