Artificial intelligence most certainly is the hottest technology in health IT today. Most health systems have begun deploying systems with artificial intelligence components, at minimum in pilots. But it’s still early days in the development and evolution of AI in healthcare.
Tom Kiesau is chief innovation officer and leader, digital and technology transformation, at Chartis, a prominent healthcare consulting firm. Kiesau has a long-term vision for AI’s opportunity and promise in the industry.
That vision includes addressing the nation’s rapidly aging population amid ever-increasing financial pressures, focusing on both clinical AI and operational AI, creating and evolving AI operating models and governance, and inventing different approaches to how healthcare is delivered because of AI’s constantly advancing capabilities.
Here, in this week’s HIMSSCast, Kiesau spells out that vision and explains why it’s important to the future of AI in healthcare.
