Here are two ways physicians and health systems can prepare for the next decade of healthcare and cost cutting, according to a July 13 report from the American Medical Association:
- Health systems should consider doing more work in outpatient care and enhancing lower cost sites of care, including ambulatory surgery and urgent care centers.
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning could both cut costs significantly as their capabilities to boost efficiency continue to grow. The technology has the potential to address several problems within healthcare, including physician burnout and complicated billing systems.
