There are emerging use cases for AI agents in healthcare, with the technology showing promise for reducing administrative burden and improving care coordination across teams. Still, responsible deployment is a must, and clear oversight should be established to maintain safety, trust and regulatory compliance.
Ashkan Afkhami, managing director and senior partner at Boston Consulting Group, joins HIMSSCast to discuss the shift from traditional AI tools that generate information to agentic AI systems capable of acting on that information, such as learning from itself to coordinate tasks, interacting with software systems and carrying out multi-step processes.
