A new survey of U.S. healthcare executives by Nordic, a global health and technology consulting company, and Modern Healthcare revealed gaps in foundational readiness for artificial intelligence (AI) at many organizations.

Despite three-quarters of executives expressing confidence in their organization’s AI readiness, the survey results highlight a stark disconnect between perception and reality. Only a quarter of respondents report having a well-established governance framework, with the remainder acknowledging the need to create or improve formal governance. Over half report being only somewhat or not at all capable of managing large datasets, and just 15% have easily scalable infrastructure for AI. Another major barrier to long-term success lies in the lack of employee training, with just 6% having a comprehensive AI educational program.

“The future of healthcare will require organizations to modernize their health systems and leverage technology to improve patient care and enhance operational efficiency,” said Kevin Erdal, senior vice president of Transformation and Innovation Services at Nordic. “While many executives believe they are taking the right steps now to adopt AI, there are many components required for long-term success. A strategic partner with experience helping organizations assess their AI readiness and create a tailored adoption roadmap to support its implementation can facilitate decision-making and drive innovation in a way that reflects responsible and ethical deployment and use of artificial intelligence technologies.”
