Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a crucial component of healthcare to help augment physicians and make them more efficient. In medical imaging, it is helping radiologists more efficiently manage PACS worklists, enable structured reporting, auto detect injuries and diseases, and to pull in relevant prior exams and patient data. In cardiology, AI is helping automate tasks and measurements on imaging and in reporting systems, guides novice echo users to improve imaging and accuracy, and can risk stratify patients. AI includes deep learning algorithms, machine learning, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, and convolutional neural networks.

Healthcare AI today: Senate arguments, aging infrastructure, ‘elastic’ jobs, more
States’ rights or federal power? Senate Republicans are of two minds on AI regulation in the One Big Beautiful Bill.
That’s no mere hospital—it’s a ‘complex adaptive system.’ Use GenAI accordingly.
From the perspective of management science, healthcare is a complex adaptive system marked by intricate feedback loops and overlapping interdependencies. As such, the sector demands caution by those introducing large-language AI into its tangled webs.
