3 Ways AI Is Helping Hospitals Reduce Costs While Enhancing The Quality Of Care

Today, healthcare systems face mounting financial strain, labor shortages and operational inefficiencies that not only increase costs but also limit the attention each patient receives. According to the World Health Organization, chronic diseases now account for 74% of global deaths, a sharp rise from 63% in 2008, leading to an increasing demand for medical services. All of this is unfolding at a time when the number of care providers is shrinking. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the United States will face a shortfall of 500,000 nurses this year, intensifying the challenges hospitals must navigate.Hospital bed management is a prime example of how rising patient volumes and operational inefficiencies intersect. Hospitals often face bed shortages because patients who are ready to leave stay longer than necessary, taking up space needed for new patients in the ICU and emergency department.
