Can AI Improve Patient Outcomes While Mitigating Liability Risk?

AI technology in healthcare is progressing at an unprecedented pace. AI is already being used to diagnosis diseases, provide medical advice, and even perform surgeries. With real-time analytics, AI can speed up diagnosis, identify potential health risks before they become serious problems, and enable faster treatment.

As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, artificial intelligence (AI) has potential to be a powerful ally for healthcare professionals in ensuring the delivery of high-quality care—while also creating potential new patient safety risks.

Recent studies suggest we are at a turning point in generative AI’s ability to transform healthcare, and 75 percent of healthcare executives agree. However, only six percent of those executives have implemented an AI strategy, according to a recent Bain & Company survey.

Integrating AI into healthcare is one of the most pivotal and pressing concerns for practitioners, hospitals, and the entire healthcare ecosystem. The potential of AI to revolutionize patient care, streamline processes, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and drive data-driven decision-making has elevated it to the forefront of healthcare’s most critical discussions. AI will not replace healthcare professionals, but it will augment their capabilities to provide superior patient care.
