AI can reduce healthcare costs and enhance patient journeys. How might this reshape the current landscape and address some of healthcare’s most significant challenges, like the rising cost of capital and employee recruitment and retention?

Leveraging AI for diagnostic imaging allows healthcare practitioners more time to focus on patient care and streamlines healthcare delivery operations. With increased efficiencies, healthcare professionals can foster a work environment that prioritizes employee needs, retaining staff during an industry-wide labor shortage. Additionally, operational efficiency allows officials to analyze and reduce debt for more economic flexibility.
