Summary
In a recent HealthLeaders podcast, Dane Hudelson from Sanford Health discussed the health system's enterprise data and analytics department, established in 2015, and its AI strategy for improving revenue cycle and financial operations. Over the past 18 months, Sanford Health has implemented around 20 AI programs, saving approximately 7,500 hours of manual labor. These AI applications, although non-clinical, significantly streamline workflows, allowing clinical staff more time to focus on patient care. Hudelson highlighted the integral role of his diverse team of data analysts, whose work indirectly enhances patient care by optimizing operational efficiencies.
