Generative AI Trends Impacting Healthcare by 2025

This report examines the current state and future expectations of Generative AI (Gen AI) in healthcare, highlighting its transformative potential and the challenges faced in adoption. It outlines that despite significant investments, Gen AI has not yet fully transformed U.S. hospital systems, remaining largely in an experimental phase. The report details how hospitals are focusing on disparate use cases to enhance productivity, yet face barriers such as outdated infrastructure and resistance to change. It anticipates a pivotal shift towards the AI-powered clinician of the future, where the focus will shift from technical roles to knowledge workers. The report emphasizes the need for hospitals to adopt a domain-based approach to transformation, integrating AI into their core operations while fostering collaboration between technical and clinical teams. It also discusses the democratization of AI infrastructure, allowing non-tech organizations to deploy advanced solutions, and the importance of clinician engagement in the adoption of AI tools. Overall, the report presents a mix of over-hyped expectations and real potential for Gen AI in healthcare.
