Is it a cost-effective solution in the long run, and what is the role of healthcare management in implementing AI&nbsp;programs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although&nbsp;at the moment&nbsp;there is&nbsp;currently&nbsp;not enough evidence on the cost-effectiveness of AI solutions, it is already possible to deduce the positive impact of AI on healthcare by looking at&nbsp;some of&nbsp;the&nbsp;potential&nbsp;benefits. As an example, human errors and healthcare-related adverse events occur in 8% to 12% of hospitalisations, whereas AI and machines have a margin of error of 3%&nbsp;(WHO, 2020). Therefore, using AI&nbsp;and,&nbsp;consequently,&nbsp;decreasing the percentage of&nbsp;human error can prevent more than 3.2 million days of hospitalisation each year&nbsp;in&nbsp;the EU, thus&nbsp;reducing&nbsp;the cost of care&nbsp;(Deloitte, 2015). Moreover, AI can also be employed for managing clinical documentation and medical records,&nbsp;which would result in&nbsp;saving&nbsp;25% of time&nbsp;for&nbsp;nurses. It is estimated that 35% of UK jobs could be automated by AI over the next 10 to 20 years&nbsp;(Deloitte, 2015). However, AI systems will ultimately not replace clinicians;&nbsp;rather&nbsp;it will&nbsp;provide&nbsp;clinicians&nbsp;with more time&nbsp;to focus on patients and practices that draw uniquely on human skills (empathy, persuasion, big-picture integration).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;benefits&nbsp;of AI&nbsp;in the&nbsp;healthcare sector&nbsp;are promising,&nbsp;but questions remain&nbsp;on&nbsp;how to move from theory to&nbsp;practical implementation.&nbsp;Surely health managers are&nbsp;key&nbsp;players&nbsp;in&nbsp;this process,&nbsp;so&nbsp;how can&nbsp;they&nbsp;facilitate&nbsp;the implementation of AI programs in healthcare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Join EHMA&nbsp;2020<\/strong>, the preeminent European conference on health management, and&nbsp;join&nbsp;our community of practice, where&nbsp;you&nbsp;can debate&nbsp;and identify solutions&nbsp;for&nbsp;the most current topics in health management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" style=\"background-color:#003399\">Register for EHMA2020<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>References:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deloitte (2015).&nbsp;<em>From brawn to brains.
