Providers begin using AI to improve clinical decision making

Healthcare organizations across the country are beginning to cash in on early efforts in artificial intelligence and data visualization. First reports on initial efforts to use these advanced technologies show tantalizing potential. Indeed, these clinical applications of AI and data visualization are where most healthcare organizations are concentrating early efforts in using this advanced assistive and predictive technology, according to results of a recent poll of Health Data Management readers. More than half (53 percent) of respondents to the survey say their organizations are using these advanced analytic technologies to improve clinical decision making. That's far and away the leading use of this information technology, but a range of other applications are being implemented, respondents say.
