3. Healthcare is major AI sector and pace of healthcare innovation is accelerating
10. Case in Point: AI in healthcare: a clinician-patient’s perspective
Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, MS
https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonychangmd/
Founder of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIMed) and MII10.ai and author of Intelligence-
Based Medicine. Global Convener of Passionate People for Transformation.
In my recent experience as a patient undergoing a procedure, I experienced once again the myriad of
issues with the foundational layer of data in healthcare that ultimately impacts on the use of AI for
clinical insights:
Persistence of paper records and Fragmentation of data sources
The information from EHR will not likely be communicated to any other practitioner in any
meaningful way so will lose its value as soon as the interaction with the practitioner is concluded
Lack of cross communication amongst practitioners with their patients’ health data
Will result in poorly deployed artificial intelligence projects as so much of the value of artificial
intelligence is dependent on the quality and accuracy as well as completeness of healthcare data.

11. The state of AI in 2020 https://mck.co/3ffvONx via @McKinsey
- Just 16% say their companies have taken deep learning beyond the piloting stage.
- Six sets of practices differentiate high-performing companies from others
- AI solutions need to be developed in close collaboration with users to address real
business needs and enable adoption, scale, real value creation.

14. robotic process automation ( RPA ) good but higher level AI needed
• Healthcare is major sector experiencing the benefits of AI however waste and inefficiency
permeate every level of the system, trickling down into patient care priorities and initiatives.
• RPA is low level AI that streamlines business processes and reduce time spent on repetitive,
routine tasks like clinical error.
15. Higher level AI especially causal
analysis and reasoning is needed
• Intelligent automation addresses clinical
effectiveness and continuous improvement of
patient experience so clinicians can improve
diagnoses and treatment and spend more time
with patients.
• Augmented healthcare innovation is the key for

Wealthiest Hospitals Got Billions in Bailout for Struggling Health Providers
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/25/business/coronavirus-hospitals-bailout.html?smid=tw-share
Twenty large chains received more than $5 billion in federal grants even while sitting
on more than $100 billion in cash.
Even before the coronavirus, roughly 400 hospitals in rural America were at risk of
closing, said Alan Morgan, the chief executive of the National Rural Hospital
Association. On average, the country’s 2,000 rural hospitals had enough cash to keep
their doors open for 30 days.
