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
