The AI-Driven Future of Modern Healthcare

A recent Honeywell survey finds that healthcare is not shying away from artificial intelligence. Organizations are looking to target two main outcome areas.

As the world navigates a future driven by artificial intelligence, healthcare organizations are seeking to quickly and methodically embed the technology through workflows, increasing efficiency, productivity and safety, and potentially leading to greater employee engagement and improved patient satisfaction.

The healthcare industry is at the forefront in the journey to AI enablement, according to recent data shared in Honeywell’s Industrial AI Insights global research study. This global survey of 1,600 AI leaders currently employing the emerging technology in their organizations assesses what they’ve experienced and what they plan for the future.

Nearly half of technology leaders surveyed in healthcare have either launched their AI rollout plans (27%) or are in the process of launching them (22%). Furthermore, the impact of AI is becoming apparent across the following outcome areas that healthcare organizations are trying to improve.

System Resiliency for Sustainability and Security

Energy efficiency and increasing productivity are not unique challenges to the healthcare industry, but addressing them in a highly regulated environment, where security is paramount, presents its own set of challenges.

By integrating AI, healthcare facilities managers can optimize their buildings and help reduce the energy used to maintain a comfortable and safe environment, while limiting emissions to comply with regulations. From automated temperature adjustment based on hospital occupancy to enhanced predictive maintenance and everything in between, AI is powering the future of these buildings and reshaping the healthcare industry.

Employee Impact to Ease Administrative Burdens

According to Honeywell’s research, 20% of AI leaders agree that a healthcare organization’s greatest asset is its staff. Maintaining employee engagement, satisfaction and safety has become paramount for organizations, and AI is helping them achieve these goals.

Healthcare systems are seeing improvements in efficiency and productivity from their clinicians after implementing AI into their workflows. This not only eases the burden on individual staff members but also maximizes their output, leading to better clinical outcomes. When a clinician spends less time working on administrative tasks, they have more time for creative and strategic thinking and the potential for burnout is reduced.

Additionally, AI can streamline the hiring and training processes across healthcare organizations, limiting operational downtime. Any HR professional will tell you that learning and professional development is a priority, and integration of AI is changing the way leaders and employees approach this. An educated, skills-based workforce is a workforce of the future, and the future is here.
