description | Health care costs now comprise nearly one-fifth of the United States’ gross domestic product, with the last 25 years marked by rising administrative costs, a lack of labor productivity growth, and rising patient and physician dissatisfaction. Policy experts have responded with a series of reforms that have – ironically - increased patient and physician administrative burden with little meaningful effect on cost and quality. Artificial intelligence (AI), a topic of great consternation, can serve as the “wheat thresher” for health care delivery, empowering and freeing both patients and physicians by decreasing administrative burden and improving labor productivity. In this Viewpoint, we discuss three principal areas where AI poses an unprecedented opportunity to reduce cost, improve care, and markedly enhance the patient and physician experience: (1) automation of administrative process, (2) augmentation of clinical practice, and (3) automation of elements of clinical practice. |
