Achieving Clinician Buy-in to Drive AI Adoption in OR Scheduling

Leaders from two healthcare provider organizations share how they achieved clinician buy-in and leveraged it to drive AI adoption for OR scheduling and hospital operations improvement.

Clinician buy-in is critical for large-scale improvement and innovation projects within a health system, including those requiring artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) adoption. However, issues such as burnout and skepticism of new technology can make getting physician buy-in a challenge.

Health systems have previously reported that AI-backed clinical intelligence and automation can help enhance perioperative care and close care gaps. Stakeholders across the healthcare industry are looking for ways to leverage these technologies for capacity and workflow optimization.
