AI is demonstrating its transformative power in different industries and healthcare is no exception! The healthcare industry encounters a range of challenges like fragmented patient data, outdated systems and rising costs. Thus, AI in healthcare addresses these challenges to streamline operations, enhance data integration and reduce inefficiencies.
Salesforce Health Cloud consolidates patient data in a single trusted platform, creating a 360-degree view of each patient. AI like Salesforce Einstein implementation on top of Health Cloud can help healthcare organizations gain actionable insights from this data to drive actionable decisions enabling personalized and timely care to improve patient outcomes.
Additionally, healthcare organizations can optimize AI implementation in Health Cloud using the 3A’s strategy. It starts with a robust checklist that
includes assessing AI needs, analyzing historical data for predictions, and acting on predictions through personalized recommendations. Find the complete checklist here.
In this blog, we’ll explore real-world use cases within the healthcare sector that showcase how AI can be applied, for optimal patient-provider outcomes.
How AI is Shaping Healthcare: 6 Key Use Cases
Use Case 1- Assessment Generation
Using tools like Einstein AI, healthcare organizations can digitize health assessments, allowing patients to complete them electronically and upload the information directly to the Health Cloud. This streamlined process enables providers to quickly access and analyze assessments, identifying key changes or improvements in patient health. Additionally, Generative AI can transform source PDFs into structured, actionable digital fields, minimizing the risk of errors and significantly reducing the time spent on manual data entry.
Use Case 2- Patient Email Generation
Einstein AI enhances patient communication by automating the creation of personalized, timely emails for appointment reminders and care-related information. By analyzing patient data such as appointment schedules, medical history, and preferences, the AI generates customized messages that are relevant to each patient’s specific needs. To know more about how data analysis powers personalized communications, read the blog. It ensures the tone and content are personalized, increasing engagement and adherence to appointments. Additionally, the AI can provide helpful care tips, medication reminders, or follow-up instructions, all tailored to the patient’s unique health journey, improving overall patient satisfaction and care continuity.
Use Case 3- Early Prediction of Chronic Diseases
AI-powered predictive analytics plays a crucial role in the early detection of chronic diseases like cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and kidney failure by analyzing patient data, including medical records and family history. By identifying patterns in diagnostic images such as mammograms, CT scans, and MRIs, AI can detect early signs of conditions like cancer, allowing for timely, personalized treatment. This proactive approach not only improves patient outcomes but also reduces treatment costs by addressing healthcare issues before they escalate.
Use Case 4-Patient Medication Summary
Managing complex patient medication records can lead to errors, but a medication summary offers a clear overview of medications, dosages, uses, and side effects, helping healthcare providers ensure patient safety. Generative AI, like Einstein AI, uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze both structured data (e.g., EHRs, drug records) and unstructured data (e.g., clinical notes, disease reports), creating concise and accurate medication summaries. This improves communication, reduces errors, and ultimately lowers healthcare costs.
Use Case 5- Provider Relationship and Network Management
AI in healthcare offers a comprehensive, 360-degree view of provider networks by analyzing data on provider availability, performance, patient satisfaction, and outcomes. This allows healthcare administrators to assess network adequacy, ensuring that providers meet the necessary standards and are well-distributed geographically. By leveraging AI to review past performance and predict patient demand, healthcare systems can optimize scheduling, minimize wait times, and ensure patients are matched with the right providers quickly.
Use Case 6- Real-time Insights for Proactive Care
Einstein AI in Health Cloud leverages predictive analytics to integrate patient data from sources like EHRs, medical imaging, and hospital admissions, enabling healthcare providers to track chronic disease progression and hospital histories. By using machine learning algorithms to analyze structured and unstructured data, it identifies early signs of potential complications, offering real-time insights that guide proactive care. This early intervention helps prevent disease progression and improves overall healthcare efficiency.
