Summary
Universal Health Services (UHS) has collaborated with Hippocratic AI to launch an AI agent that assists clinicians with post-discharge follow-up calls, aiming to enhance patient monitoring after hospital stays. The program, initially implemented at two UHS facilities, has garnered positive patient feedback and is poised for expansion, with the AI tool designed to alleviate nurses' administrative burdens. This initiative aligns with a growing trend in healthcare to adopt agentic AI for operational efficiency and to mitigate clinician burnout, while still allowing patients to connect with human nurses when necessary.
