Roadmap for Implementing Practical AI Uses in Home Healthcare
There’s a common trap that businesses can fall into when it comes to technology – everyone wanting everything, all at once. At a time when new, cutting-edge platforms and services are introduced at a lightning pace, it’s easy to get distracted by the “shiny new object” that may not have practical application for your business – leading to wasted time and resources.
Leaders across all levels and functions of a company know they need to have technology to enable their processes. But for those

Real-Time AI for Healthcare Agents: Improving Patient Interactions
When cold and flu season intensifies, calls to healthcare contact centers surge. Patients and policyholders need help with appointments, insurance, prescriptions, billing, and more. That places added pressure on agents, whom patients rely on for accurate and empathetic service.
Strong customer service is important in every industry, of course, but in healthcare, there’s extra urgency because every interaction may involve situations with serious medical and/or financial consequences.

How to Balance AI and Human Expertise in the Middle Revenue Cycle
While artificial intelligence (AI) can automate many functions within the middle revenue cycle, there remains a need for human expertise to manage complex, nuanced decisions to ensure high accuracy and proper context. Ultimately, AI should complement – not replace – humans to drive greater efficiency without compromising quality.
In revenue cycle management (RCM), the middle cycle refers to the phase between the front end, which is patient access and care delivery, and the back end,

AI in Primary Care: Reducing Burnout and Empowering Physicians
Primary care physicians struggle to process a novel's worth of data on each of their patients, every day, under stressful conditions. As healthcare invests billions in fast-evolving AI solutions, I’m convinced that leveraging AI to expand automation and save time in healthcare won't work unless we prioritize helping these doctors operate at the top of their license.
Every patient has a rich story. Primary care physicians are tasked with quickly finding and reviewing those personal stories in

Using AI to Drive Strategic Surgical Growth in Hospital Operations
Perioperative services at better-performing hospitals can contribute up to 68% of a hospital’s revenue, and up to 60% of a hospital’s operating margin. So, it’s not surprising that health system executives are laser-focused on increasing efficiency and utilization.
However, in the pursuit of higher profit margins, many executives are committing a fatal flaw that actually limits their opportunity to foster sustainable, significant expansion: pinning their growth goals on a hope strategy,
