Fifty-seven percent of healthcare workers feel in control of their careers, compared to 45% of U.S. workers across all industries, according to a recent LinkedIn News survey.

LinkedIn surveyed 14,680 U.S. professionals between June 14 and Sept. 19.

Employees in business development were most likely to feel in control, with 59% of respondents indicating so. Healthcare followed, trailed by accounting (56%), human resources (55%), and real estate (53%).

Industries where employees feel the least control over their careers are customer success and support (33%), media and communication (36%), and marketing, research and administrative fields (39%).

This could highlight uncertainty in these industries as artificial intelligence reshapes roles, according to LinkedIn News. While predictive AI is gaining steam within hospitals, its adoption varies between system-affiliated facilities and independent hospitals, according to a recent federal report.

Nurse informatics leaders told Becker’s in September it is reshaping nurses’ roles, with the most immediate opportunity in easing documentation burdens.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
