Generative AI For Clinicians: Creating & Capturing Value
The integration of Generative AI into healthcare offers transformative opportunities to enhance patient care, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. However, true success lies not just in creating value but in capturing and sustaining it within ethical and sustainable business models. This unit explores how AI-driven solutions optimize workflows, personalize care, and support clinical decision-making while navigating challenges such as financial incentives, regulatory compliance, and clinician adoption. By examining various business models—Healthcare SaaS, AI Services-as-Software, and Tech-Enabled Clinical Services—clinicians will gain insights into aligning AI innovations with practical, revenue-generating frameworks that prioritize patient outcomes without compromising medical integrity.
