Dr Emeline Ramos argues that healthcare providers must prioritize clinical workflows over specific AI tools to improve patient care.

Dr Emeline Ramos, a Physician Executive at InterSystems, states that while healthcare has spent years digitizing clinical work, the process has often become more complex for clinicians. She notes that artificial intelligence can reduce administrative burdens and make clinical information easier to find, but these gains are not inevitable without changes to the surrounding workflow.

Dr Emeline Ramos emphasizes that healthcare providers should identify care delivery problems first, rather than simply selecting an AI tool. She argues that the success of a unified AI solution, such as the InterSystems IntelliCareâ„¢ system, is more consistent and easier to use than multiple bolt-on tools. The goal should be to remove unnecessary work and release capacity for clinicians to focus on patient care. Dr Emeline Ramos highlights that AI can help unscramble patient stories from large volumes of data and identify patients at risk of deterioration. However, she warns that productivity gains only occur if clinicians do not spend as much time correcting AI-generated content as they spent creating it. Success should be measured by whether the technology makes care easier to deliver.
