Hospitals are looking at ways to leverage artificial intelligence to cut down on administrative tasks which contribute to burnout for nurses and doctors.
When Dr. Tra'chella Johnson Foy greets her patients, she sits across from them facing away from the computer in the exam room. Then, she pulls out her phone, and asks for permission to record the appointment.
"Pajama time — which should be the time where you're getting ready to wind down and go to bed. We're usually still charting and noting and doing things that are going to enhance the life of the patient but not necessarily our own quality of life," Foy said.Harnessing AI programs to put pajama time to rest, and helping doctors and nurses fight burnout, is a top priority for Baptist Health's chief digital and information officer Aaron Miri.
The researchers estimate adopting AI to simplify those tasks could help hospitals cut their total costs by 5% to 11% in the next five years, while physician groups could achieve up to 8% savings, and health insurers up to 10%.of health care executives last year found that one in four expected to see costs for artificial intelligence and analytics increase 25%.
"What organizations are doing is they're looking at these high-impact use cases, but also making sure that they mitigate the risks and looking at ways that we can choose the scenarios where we put a human in the middle," said Dr. David Rhew, chief medical officer and VP of healthcare for Microsoft's Worldwide Commercial Business.
