Webinar Wednesday – Beyond the Hype: AI Agents = More Time For Patient Care
The Challenge: The healthcare sector faces significant challenges:
- Growing demand for healthcare professionals, with a projected 16% increase from 2020 to 2030.
- Canada/The United States are facing a potential shortage of 500,000 physicians and nurses.
- Clinicians spend on average 40% of their time on administrative tasks, contributing to burnout.
The Solution: Agentic AI Agents
AI Agents can be used as intelligent assistants designed to automate administrative tasks, streamline workflows, and improve clinician efficiency in healthcare settings.
Case Study Highlights (sample client results):
- Patient Scheduling: AI-driven appointment workflows achieve high automation rates (up to 96%) and significant time savings (e.g., 1,740 hours saved annually);
- Oncology Program: AI assistants streamline processes, achieving automation rates of up to 98.3% and saving up to 2,145 hours annually;
- Pulmonology: AI agents automate tasks with automation rates of 99% and time savings of 2,300 hours annually;
- Surgery Clinical Visit Prep: AI agents save 1,488 hours annually and provide extra capacity.
