  3. AI and the Future of Healthcare

Australia’s ageing population and rising healthcare demands have created an environment where healthcare providers must explore how to use technology to deliver better, more timely care. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is well-positioned to address these challenges. While many in the industry are already experimenting with AI, the key question remains: what are the most impactful areas to focus on for AI in healthcare?

Key Focus Areas for Healthcare Providers

Supply Chain Management: Optimise inventory levels, forecast equipment needs, and manage staffing more efficiently.

Identifying High Risk Patients: Efficiently identify high risk patients and reduce the probability of mortality. 

Improving Patient Experience: Improve patient engagement by offering personalised communication, appointment reminders, and health information.

Workflow Automation: Streamline administrative tasks like billing, claims processing and clinical notes collection. 

Data Management and Analytics: Enhance the management and analysis of vast amounts of structured and unstructured healthcare data.

AI Use Cases Transforming Healthcare
