In healthcare today, it looks like there is a tension between too much technology, and not enough technology.
And simultaneously, too much humanity, and not enough humanity.
It seems like these things, the movement towards technology and away from humanity, are accelerating at an incredible pace, potentially bringing us to a place we don't necessarily want to be.
Across the entire spectrum of healthcare, we're seeing inroads in care by technological advances that were unheard of just a few years ago.
In fields like radiology and pathology, artificial intelligence (AI) systems are assisting the doctors performing these services, proving to be more efficient or at least adding to their efficiency, probably still nowhere near replacing them but definitely able to serve and enhance their care. And AI is now reading our patient's messages in the electronic medical record and offering up suggested responses, helping with billing and coding and scheduling, and guiding doctors toward the best evidence.
