Summary
At the HLTH 2025 conference, health system executives outlined significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) that are transforming operational efficiency and patient care. Unlike the previous year, where technology companies dominated discussions, this year's focus shifted to health systems like Risant Health and Houston Methodist showcasing their successful AI applications in capacity management and early disease detection. For instance, Houston Methodist's "smart hospital" employs AI for patient monitoring and flow management, reducing overcrowding without extensive infrastructure investment. These developments signal a crucial evolution in healthcare technology, emphasizing the role of AI in enhancing clinical outcomes and reducing costs.
