Human scribes have proven helpful in reducing physician administrative burden. According to the AMA, having a scribe in the room can reduce burnout by as much as 27%. But this is not as easy a solution to implement as one might think. Have you seen the average size of the examination room? Getting another person in there makes for a crowded elevator. Then, there’s the intimacy problem. Health conversations can be difficult with another person listening in and taking notes. Not to mention the challenge of getting enough trained people available whenever the physician needs them. Alternatively, a well-trained AI model is exceptionally good at processing the conversation between a physician and patient, transcribing it, ordering the conversation into appropriate notes, performing the necessary documentation for claims, initiating referrals for lab tests, images, specialists, and so on.

Recently, I had the privilege of attending the AHA Rural Health Conference, a gathering that brings together healthcare professionals, administrators, and advocates from across the nation to address the unique challenges and opportunities within rural healthcare. The experience was not only enlightening but also deeply inspiring, highlighting the resilience, innovation, and dedication of those at the forefront of rural health. Reflecting on the conference, I’d like to share three key themes and takeaways that resonated with me, in the hope of offering some insights and encouragement to others navigating this vital field.

Conversational AI is an advanced technology that allows machines to understand, process, and respond to human language in a way that is both contextually relevant and interactive. Within the healthcare sector, this technology is increasingly deployed to automate routine tasks and deliver a more robust and personalized patient experience. Conversational AI leverages a combination of machine learning, natural language processing, and occasionally deep learning to interpret and respond to user inputs, with a conversational user interface that mimics human interaction. Digital health companies deploy conversational AI through chatbots, voice assistants, messaging apps, or any other type of platform where natural language interactions occur.

From providing quick, relevant, and legitimate responses to health questions to streamlining essential tasks, AI chatbots are revolutionizing how patients interact with healthcare providers and provide unique new opportunities for health systems to enhance operations with digital tools.

Advances in conversational AI virtual assistants deliver tremendous value both to patients and their providers. Leading solutions can answer routine questions, support symptom triage, help patients schedule appointments, provide education, facilitate intake and procedure prep activities, and engage patients post-discharge and during follow-up, all while reducing administrative burdens for care teams and support staff.

With conversational AI involved, legal frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR still apply, but involve added complexity and dimensions. Within legal frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR, conversational AI raises new questions about patient privacy and compliance. For instance, can a chatbot be HIPAA-compliant? How do we ensure that the data processed through conversational interfaces receive the same level of security as traditional electronic health records? Legal authorities and legislative bodies are starting to tackle these issues, but healthcare providers must stay ahead of the curve to ethically utilize these tools and ensure legal compliance.

Consumers continue to expect more with each healthcare experience, and providers are grappling with how new market solutions can cater to non-loyal patients. Health systems operate in a progressively competitive environment as the supply of available healthcare services has grown. Meanwhile, consumers have adapted their lifestyles over the past three decades to a fast-paced, competitive, and accessible market. As a result, today’s healthcare consumers have a wide array of choices at their disposal, including a burgeoning array of telehealth options that can serve patients in any location.

Generative AI solutions offer incredible opportunities for the healthcare industry to improve care across multiple dimensions and provide accessible and engaging user experiences. It makes sense that healthcare entities want to implement these tools quickly to attain the promised benefits and avoid falling behind their competitors. But these technologies might still fall short of the hype, with significant shortcomings that may overshadow the advantages for many potential customers.
