Generative Artificial Intelligence Use in Healthcare: Opportunities for Clinical Excellence and Administrative Efficiency

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) has transformative potential in healthcare to enhance patient care, personalize treatment options, train healthcare professionals, and advance medical research. This paper examines various clinical and non-clinical applications of Gen AI. In clinical settings, Gen AI supports the creation of customized treatment plans, generation of synthetic data, analysis of medical images, nursing workflow management, risk prediction, pandemic preparedness, and population health management. By automating administrative tasks such as medical documentations, Gen AI has the potential to reduce clinician burnout, freeing more time for direct patient care. Furthermore, application of Gen AI may enhance surgical outcomes by providing real-time feedback and automation of certain tasks in operating rooms. The generation of synthetic data opens new avenues for model training for diseases and simulation, enhancing research capabilities and improving predictive accuracy. In non-clinical contexts, Gen AI improves medical education, public relations, revenue cycle management, healthcare marketing etc. Its capacity for continuous learning and adaptation enables it to drive ongoing improvements in clinical and operational efficiencies, making healthcare delivery more proactive, predictive, and precise.
