Cleveland Clinic CEO Highlights AI's Role in Reshaping U.S. Health Care System
Dr. Tom Mihaljevic, CEO of Cleveland Clinic, discussed the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming the U.S. health care system during a webinar hosted by Newsweek. Mihaljevic emphasized that AI is not a panacea for the systemic issues plaguing health care but can significantly aid in redesigning care models. He highlighted the need for substantial pre-work to harness AI's full potential, noting that the current fragmented health care landscape, with over 5,500 hospitals, many of which are under-resourced, is not conducive to maximizing AI benefits. The Cleveland Clinic has been restructuring its operations to integrate AI effectively, recruiting digital leaders from outside the health care sector to drive innovation.
