As healthcare systems worldwide strive for improved patient outcomes, efficiency and equitable access to advanced treatments, Artificial Intelligence( AI) is set to be a transformative force.
Healthcare consultants are under increasing pressure to navigate a continuously evolving body of medical knowledge, handle increasingly complex patient populations, manage administrative burdens and deliver patient-centered care – all cost-effectively.
Generative AI( Gen AI) and advanced Machine Learning models have emerged as the key tools to empower consultants and their teams. Hospital and healthcare leaders have realised they must embrace AI technology for increased efficiency and improved patient care. In fact, the UK Government has launched a £ 150 million( US $ 185 million) procurement drive for AI solutions, putting out a request for information, indicating that AI is high on the agenda.
There are both opportunities and challenges of next-generation AI tooling and by exploring some of their potential application areas, healthcare leaders can start to build a roadmap for integration into consultant-led care.
How AI is impacting the role of healthcare consultants
Artificial Intelligence is revolutionising consultant-led care, from augmenting clinical decisions to streamlining admin and enhancing patient outcomes. Mark Scrivens, FPT Software’ s UK CEO, explores five powerful ways next-generation AI tools are reshaping healthcare delivery, efficiency and the consultant’ s evolving role.
Next-generation AI solutions are in place today supporting consultant-level care in many ways. This ranges from providing support in guiding junior doctors in complex decision-making, offering prognostic insights in oncology or cardiology and being tools to optimise orthopaedic recovery, pain management, rehabilitation and fall prevention.
The reality is that next-gen AI solutions are being technically implemented within clinical workflows. Seamless electronic health record( EHR) integration and user-friendly dashboards ensure that AI insights are accessible at the point-of-care. Interoperable data standards and robust API frameworks facilitate smooth adoption within existing clinical workflows.
AI solutions are also enhancing patient engagement, being integrated with wearables and smart environments for proactive interventions, and playing
