The healthcare industry is undergoing a dramatic technological shift that promises to tackle the US health care cost problem. AI software solutions play a crucial role in reducing costs for healthcare providers.
In this blog, we’ll talk about how AI software solutions can help lower costs for healthcare providers and how these changes could eventually trickle down and benefit patients as well.
Reduce medical errors
The percentage of medical malpractice liability that is caused by errors made by doctors, nurses and, other staff has been steadily increasing for decades. In the United States, nearly half of medical malpractice liability is due to human error.
AI software solutions that automatically check for proper procedures during patient care can both avoid errors caused by doctors and nurses and improve the decision-making process when errors do occur.
Reduce no-shows
The average number of people who don’t show up for their appointments is quite high. Doctors, hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers lose money each time someone doesn’t show up for an appointment, whether it’s due to the patient not showing up or having to reschedule them later.
AI software solutions can remind patients of their appointments with text messages and save millions of dollars annually.
Reduce procedure costs
The current cost of healthcare continues to increase as new technology is developed and adopted. This means that facilities must spend more money each year on diagnostic equipment, prescription medications, hospital facilities, and other facilities.
What if there were a way to diagnose the same conditions as today but for a much lower price? AI software solutions can make this possible by using existing technologies in a far more efficient way than human doctors and nurses using risky trial-and-error procedures.
Reduce hacking risk
The fear of a hacker breaking into a hospital’s computer systems and stealing patient records has long been a scourge for many healthcare providers. This fear has prompted hospitals to spend big money on cybersecurity measures hoping to prevent the breach.
What if there were a way for a hospital to acquire all sensitive information without hacking into someone’s computer? AI software solutions that employ Machine Learning and AI techniques can do this by automatically identifying potential violations that may lead to sensitive data being stolen or corrupted.
Reduce employee turnover
Inefficient staff can cost a hospital or doctor’s office millions of dollars in lost productivity and wages every year. One of the most common reasons staff quit their jobs is due to a poor boss or a hostile work environment. A lack of proper training and career advancement opportunities also contributes to labor turnover.
With automation in healthcare, there is no need for so many employees, which means every one of them receives adequate training and career advancement opportunities. Each new worker is given an AI software solution that is optimally compatible with the current work process to provide quality patient care while lowering costs for everyone involved.
