Abstract: Early artificial intelligence (AI) adoption and a weakness in organizational execution represent two elements that shape practical examples of AI-assisted clinical workflow optimization. Some institutions are realizing operational efficiencies, short-term reductions in clinical error rates, and enhanced patient experience even amid talent shortages. Initial improvements align with the actual diagnostic or treatment pathway being executed and the real-world clinical and technical capabilities enabled by the AI initiative. Data-driven medicine on the other hand, with its call for evidence-based, structured data-driven access to clinical decision support tools at the time and place of need, as well as automated alerts and reminders, remains a vision yet to be fully realized. Institutions with the right elements in place can expect workflow enhancements provided clinicians are willing and able to trust their clinical judgment more than the underlying models and embrace delegation.

While some hospitals have implemented data-mature and user-centered data-driven medicine for the first three years for diagnostic support and decision-making, AI-supported routing and triage, multispecialty treatment planning, and high-urgency multidisciplinary approval have remained aspirational. In other words, the implementation readiness of AI-supported workflow optimization in these hospitals remains in flux, with elements switching between enablers and barriers. Expectation alignment, however, has improved markedly during the same period. Work that focuses on the evolution of clinical governance, data infrastructure, training needs across clinician groups, user-centered design, and operating model readiness is therefore directly relevant to translating AI ambition into execution.
