The area where artificial intelligence is expected to have the greatest impact in healthcare is assisting with administrative tasks, according to an April 10 survey from AI company Innovaccer.
The report surveyed 105 professionals across 73 U.S. healthcare organizations to assess their perceptions of AI.
Here are four key findings from the survey:
- Key areas where AI is expected to have the most impact include administrative tasks (52.4%), electronic health record management (47.6%) and diagnostic accuracy (41.9%).
- About 81.6% of physicians and 78.8% of administrators are eager to adopt artificial intelligence tools, citing workforce shortages, burnout and growing administrative inefficiencies. Many see AI as a way to automate time-consuming tasks and boost efficiency and productivity.
- Nearly 64.8% of surveyed professionals view AI as a critical tool for reducing workloads. Respondents — including executives, clinicians, nurses, administrative staff and strategists — emphasized the technology’s value across all levels of healthcare operations.
- Roughly 37.1% of respondents said AI is key to improving decision-making, particularly in precision medicine, diagnostics and treatment planning, by enabling real-time, data-driven insights.
