The healthcare industry is still feeling the aftershocks of the pandemic, especially when it comes to staffing. By 2030, the U.S. is projected to face a shortage of more than 63,000 registered nurses (RNs). However, nurses aren’t leaving because of long hours—they’re walking away from broken systems. A significant opportunity is in offloading the work that’s pulling healthcare staff away from patients and residents, and that’s where AI agents are starting to make a real impact.
Agentic AI systems take action. They can operate autonomously on analyzing data and optimizing workflows with minimal human intervention. AI agents can help get more value out of the team you already have by making smarter decisions at scale. They can analyze credentials to ensure a med tech isn’t taking a shift below their license and factor in staff preferences and overtime risk to build the perfect schedule every time.
By taking on the heavy administrative workload that too often drives people out of the healthcare industry, AI agents can help protect healthcare workers rather than replace them. When the busy work disappears, the focus can shift to ensuring the happiness of staff and better care and outcomes for patients.
