- Healthcare leaders are heavily investing in AI or plan to do so
for both critical decision support and operational efficiency,
helping tackle staff shortages
- Largest global survey of its kind shows healthcare leaders
continue to recognize virtual care as key to bringing care closer
to patients, wherever they are
Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Chicago, USA –
Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health
technology, today announced the results of its Future Health Index
(FHI) 2023 report: Taking healthcare everywhere. Unveiled at
HIMSS23, the eighth annual FHI 2023 global report shows healthcare
leaders are increasingly prepared to invest in AI, recognize the
opportunity virtual care offers to bring care closer to patients,
and acknowledge the importance of building partnerships to improve
care.
“Post Covid, demand for healthcare services has increased, but
there are fewer healthcare professionals available to serve this
growing number of patients. This year’s report shows healthcare
leaders are prepared to invest in AI to alleviate this pressure on
their workforce,” said Shez Partovi, Chief Innovation &
Strategy Officer and Business Leader of Enterprise Informatics at
Philips. “In order to genuinely relieve that burden, it’s essential
that new AI capabilities are interoperable and embedded into
clinical and operational workflows.”
Tackling staff shortages with digital innovation and
automationPlanned investments in AI over the next three
years show the biggest increase in critical decision support (39%
in 2023, up from 24% in 2021). This was a top choice among
cardiology (50%) and radiology (48%) leaders. The percentage of
healthcare leaders planning to invest in AI for operational
efficiency, including automating documentation, scheduling
patients, and performing routine tasks, remained steady at 37%.
Bringing care closer to the patient, expanding access
points and convenienceWith moving care to new settings a
key contributor to reducing staffing pressure, 70% of all
respondents say virtual care has had the biggest impact on
improving patient care or will in the next three years. The report
also shows virtual care is moving into more areas of care, meeting
patients where they are. 82% of healthcare leaders say that their
facility currently provides intensive or critical care supported
virtually (41%) or plans to in the next three years (41%). Virtual
care also plays a vital role in attracting and retaining talent,
with 44% of younger healthcare professionals indicating new care
delivery models that connect different care settings are a top
priority when choosing where to work.
Partnering across the healthcare ecosystem to expand the
reach of careOne in three (34%) healthcare leaders are
building partnerships outside their healthcare system to be able to
provide the best possible care. Among their top choices of current
partners are diagnostic imaging or screening centers (28%),
ambulatory care centers (23%), emergency medical centers (23%), and
retailers or pharmacies (22%) – all of which can also help in
bringing care closer to the patient.
The FHI 2023 report is based on proprietary research among
nearly 3,000 healthcare leaders and younger healthcare
professionals conducted in 14 countries. To access the report,
