The success of agentic AI rollouts will depend on whether underlying workflows are designed to effectively support it. IT departments should play a central role here—but effective coordination with operations teams is key.
Agentic AI, like a host of other technologies that came before it, is poised to transform healthcare. A quick scan of recent stories in this very magazine illustrates the sheer breadth of—and investment in—its promise: from improving patient services and reducing

Why Primary Care First Visits Must Function Like Follow-Ups
Of the roughly 30 million GP appointments recorded each month across England, most begin the same way: a patient describes what is wrong, the doctor listens, and the clinical picture gradually assembles itself over the first several minutes of a consultation that, on average, runs to under 11. Research published in the British Journal of General Practice has shown that the clinical tasks a GP is expected to complete in a standard appointment routinely take longer than the appointment allows. The

Why Healthcare AI Demands an Owned Intelligence Layer
Healthcare is one of the few industries where AI errors do not just cost money. They can compromise patient trust, expose sensitive data, create compliance risk, and undermine the clinicians and operators responsible for care.
Yet much of the AI tooling entering healthcare was built for speed, not accountability. The tools that can generate a demo in a day were not designed for clinical workflows, fragmented patient data, audit trails, compliance policies, or the accuracy requirements

Hospitals Are Buying AI Faster Than They Can Govern It. That’s the Real Risk.
Walk any health IT trade show floor and you would think the hard part of healthcare AI is the AI. Smarter models, faster inference, slicker demos. But that is not where this is going to be won or lost. The technology is racing ahead. The governance behind it is not. And that gap, not the algorithms, is the real risk facing health systems right now.
Here is the uncomfortable thesis. Most hospitals are buying AI faster than they can govern it. They can sign the contract in a
