A recent survey conducted by the Center for Connected Medicine at UPMC, in partnership with KLAS, reveals that artificial intelligence (AI) remains a top priority among healthcare executives for the second consecutive year. The survey, involving 55 U.S. hospitals and health systems, highlights AI as not only the most exciting but also the most improved technology, with a particular focus on applications like generative AI for clinical documentation. Additionally, telehealth and virtual care technologies continue to gain momentum, building on their adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic. Executives believe that technology, especially AI, has the potential to address key healthcare challenges and significantly improve patient care while emphasizing the importance of data privacy and quality care.
