Despite excitement about ambient scribing and AI agents, health systems are still spending more time governing AI than actually deploying it. According to a 2023 Health Management Academy survey, about 75% of large U.S. health systems reported they are either using or actively planning to use AI in operational areas. While health systems spend 18 months developing perfect AI frameworks, more nimble competitors are already testing, iterating, and scaling solutions through real-world deployments. So how should health systems best move forward responsibly? Looking for perfection is a recipe for failure: Humans are the most fallible technology health systems deploy.
