In this episode of "The Deep Dive," the hosts explore the use of AI agents in healthcare, emphasizing their potential to revolutionize operations and care delivery. They differentiate AI agents from LLMs and RPA by highlighting their ability to pull real-time data, plan and execute multi-step tasks, and maintain context for longitudinal decision-making. The discussion underscores the importance of a "governance-first" architecture to address ethical, regulatory, and operational safeguards, focusing on interdependent layers: AI agents, AI governance framework, and AI platform infrastructure. They also discuss a risk-based approach to governance, classifying AI agents based on their potential impact and the level of autonomy. The hosts suggest a phased approach to implementation, starting with low-risk use cases and gradually scaling up, and they touch on the vendor landscape and strategic considerations for healthcare leaders. The episode concludes by considering the potential of AI agents to support value-based care goals and the importance of measuring both quantitative and qualitative metrics to ensure successful implementation.
