While 45% of healthcare executives say they are following AI trends closely, only a quarter say their organization is actually using the technology, a Jan. 23 survey from healthcare researcher Sermo found. One in 5 calls this a missed opportunity.
Meanwhile, a third of healthcare leaders say AI will contribute to organizational success and growth within the next year, and 91% predict it will in five or more years, according to the survey of 100 executives from U.S. hospitals, health systems and other healthcare organizations.

1. EHR management: 23%
2. Medical imaging: 21%
3. Predictive analytics: 20%
4. Virtual health assistance: 13%
