Summary
Large health systems are increasingly opting to develop their own AI tools to better meet their specific operational needs and leverage their unique data, moving away from reliance on external vendors. Advocate Health's Chief Digital Officer, Andy Crowder, notes that this approach aims to streamline processes and create tailored solutions more efficiently than traditional vendor partnerships allow. By establishing hub-and-spoke models, larger health systems can provide essential AI resources to smaller or rural hospitals, potentially generating new revenue streams while enhancing care delivery. This shift emphasizes the necessity for healthcare providers to innovate rapidly in the evolving AI landscape, fostering models that adapt quickly to changing demands.
