Comment on So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off

It’s not “paying off” as this isn’t implemented anywhere, thus not making money.
I think you’re way off the mark and buying into the hype. That’s my opinion from an electronic medical record software analyst.

You need to talk to your radiology department then.

I’m in cardiology - radiology is right across the hall. We’re both under ancillary services.
None of this is implemented so none of it is paying off.
Also nobody thinks this will take their jobs, because it looks like Theranos to us, in that it’s very hyped in tech and ridiculous to those of us in the medical field.

Sounds like your hospital is behind the times then. Mine has already been rolling out the tech and holding seminars on how folks don’t need to worry about losing their job. And, I suppose as an EMR analyst you’re fully aware that Epic is working on a natural language interface for querying SlicerDicer so even data analysts will have to go pound sand soon (not saying that’s good btw).
