Becker’s Health IT July 1 – Thoughtful, Not Frenzied: A Smarter Way to Adopt AI in Healthcare
AI adoption in healthcare is accelerating—66% of providers used it last year, a 78% increase from the year before. But at NextGen Healthcare, we believe adoption should be thoughtful, not frenzied.
AI is most effective when it solves real problems. That’s why we encourage practices to begin by identifying workflow gaps and patient or staff frustrations. From there, AI can be applied where it truly adds value:
- Pre-Visit: AI-generated summaries help providers quickly understand patient history.
- During Visit: AI supports clinical decisions without replacing provider judgment.
- Documentation: Tools like NextGen® Ambient Assist can save up to 2.5 hours per day.
- Billing: AI streamlines claims and reduces denials.
- Post-Visit: Automated follow-ups keep patients engaged and informed.
As our Chief Data and Analytics Officer, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, puts it: “AI is only as good as its usefulness. Start with need, and trust will follow.”
