Summary
A recent Accenture report indicates that while 83% of U.S. healthcare C-suite executives are piloting generative AI (genAI) technologies, fewer than 10% are investing in the infrastructure needed for widespread deployment. Tej Shah, managing director of health at Accenture, notes that the industry's cautious approach to patient safety and data security has resulted in fragmented genAI implementations. To move from pilot projects to broad adoption, healthcare leaders need to prioritize strategic deployment, emphasizing cloud integration and data governance. Additionally, there is a leadership disconnect, as only 28% of healthcare CEOs believe they are responsible for redefining roles influenced by genAI.
