What to Know
- Original research on AI adoption. ECG surveyed 70 healthcare organizations across the United States to better understand how leaders are evaluating, adopting, and investing in AI.
- Healthcare is investing before ROI is proven. Most respondents expect AI investments to grow, even though many organizations have yet to realize measurable financial returns.
- The biggest opportunities are operational. Early AI success is concentrated in areas such as patient access, scheduling, documentation, billing support, and care coordination rather than autonomous clinical decision-making.
Healthcare leaders are moving beyond AI experimentation and into real-world deployment. Yet many organizations continue to wrestle with the same questions: Where should we focus? How do we measure value? And what safeguards are needed to scale AI responsibly?
Our survey provides a data-driven snapshot of how healthcare organizations are answering those questions today.
