A Powerful Partnership: AI and Humans Take on Healthcare Challenges

The following is a guest article by Christopher Larkin, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Concord Technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI) is pervasive in our daily decisions. We are assisted by AI-powered solutions that map optimal travel routes, deliver targeted online search results, manage vital banking functions, and even guide our driving.  Healthcare is another area that has become increasingly influenced using data and algorithms that make human-like conclusions. While much of medicine was once bogged down by legacy systems and paper files, the widespread digitization of records has streamlined processes and enabled the development of technology that can search documents for meaningful information. While computers can access data and learn from it, it is vital that medicine does not solely rely on AI to do the actual making of decisions. To improve the provision of medical care, AI must be paired optimally with human intuition. Data empowers clinicians and other healthcare decision-makers to better manage a variety of dynamic conditions and solve complex challenges. It is a partnership that has begun to yield significant results. Scaling Decisions Today’s value-based care environment requires scalable solutions that enable repeatable, consistent, and effective decision-making. Data, tools and reporting solutions that leverage AI can have a significant impact on both clinical outcomes and operations at healthcare facilities. That’s because properly establi...
