Healthcare organizations have talked about AI for years, but implementation has been mixed. Next year, these organizations will start prioritizing solutions that derive real, tangible value from AI. To do that, they must ensure that not only AI models but also the "humans in the loop" in charge of working with AI tools are trained properly. Organizations that prioritize human capital will see the most success.
