Implementing AI in Healthcare
Stackable Wins Pyramid
The interactive graphic below illustrates how cumulative efficiencies compound over time. Use it to prioritize implementation opportunities based on complexity, risk, and volume to de-risk early deployment and accelerate system-wide impact.
Personalized & precision AI (Few/week)
Use case: Pharmacogenomics, individualized pathways
AI role: Multi-modal data fusion for treatment optimization
Workflow integration: Embedded in clinical decision-making moments
Value: Tailored care, reduced waste, future-state transformation
Note: High complexity, low immediate ROI. Requires significant workflow adaptation.
Predictive & diagnostic tools (Dozens/day)
Use case: Readmission risk scoring, sepsis prediction, radiology triage
AI role: Predictive modeling based on health record or imaging data
Workflow integration: Alert delivery at natural decision points
Value: Proactive care, safety, resource optimization
Note: High governance burden. Must prove real-world value without workflow disruption.
Clinical documentation & workflow assistance (Hundreds/day)
Use case: Ambient scribing, discharge summary drafting, task routing
AI role: Summarization, predictive automation
Workflow integration: Background processing during natural clinical interactions
Value: Clinician satisfaction, revenue lift, burnout reduction
Note: Success depends entirely on preserving natural clinical conversation flows.
High-volume administrative tasks (Thousands/day)
Use case: Patient registration, insurance verification, appointment reminders, prior authorization
AI role: Automate structured processes
Workflow integration: Behind-the-scenes automation of routine processes
Value: Staff time recovery, fewer errors, faster throughput
Note: High reward, low risk.
Ideal entry point—minimal workflow disruption.
