AI-powered clinician assistants: A balancing act
 

DXC perspective

Evolution and usage of AI-powered clinician assistants are surging in response to physician burnout. The extent of recommended use of such tools continues to be divided among caregivers and operations communities. While digital innovation powered by AI is progressing at an accelerated rate, the healthcare industry is also focused on identifying the “ethical guardrails” for AI tools.

DXC perspective

The buzz and promise of generative AI technology aside, what makes this phase of AI a true game-changer is the speed at which these technologies can be incorporated into business use cases. It is a testament to the maturity and market readiness of technology such as ChatGPT. Already there are use cases at various stages of development across digital surveillance, medical writing, trial recruitment and more. A few applications have quickly moved to market production, such as ZoomRx’s solution for analyzing abstracts at medical congresses.

Medtech outsourcing
 

Market research shows that the surge in demand for smart patient-centric medical devices will likely boost the medical devices outsourcing market. Also, the rise of chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, is likely to accelerate medical devices outsourcing market development. DXC believes it is imperative for medical device manufactures to establish strong relationships with partners — who can help with product design, engineering, prototyping and manufacturing optimization through intelligent automation — to gain and maintain competitive advantages and increase speed to market.

Fraud prevention in mental health
 

This month the U.S. federal government Senate Committee on Finance released a “secret shopper study” report focused on mental health provider directory inaccuracies in Medicare Advantage plans. The study found that more than 80% of the identified listings for mental health providers were inaccurate or unavailable, constituting “ghost networks” that make it difficult for patients to find a provider. The opportunity exists to apply analytical methods using a variety of data sources to improve provider directories and access. It is time to use them before the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) increases audits, reviews and fines.
