Health care C-suite leaders see no shortage of potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to help the field advance. How to safely implement AI, the ongoing need to monitor algorithms to ensure that they perform up to standards and the potential for misleading or biased AI outputs have kept health care executives cautious about the technology, a recent Sage Growth Partners survey shows.
Key findings from the Sage survey of 101 health care C-suite executives from integrated delivery networks, academic medical centers and independent hospitals found that respondents share similar optimism and concerns about the technology. For instance: 83% believe that AI could improve clinical decision-making, Nearly 50% of respondents cite appropriate use of AI as one of their top three greatest challenges.
3 Takeaways from the Sage Growth Partners Survey:
1.Data privacy and security concerns remain.
2.Execs are split on algorithm bias limitations.
3.Despite obstacles to adoption, C-suite leaders are leaning into AI — in some ways.
