Healthcare & Life Sciences Agentic AI Use Cases
Challenge
Today’s healthcare systems are under immense pressure. Doctors and nurses are stretched thin, not just because of staff shortages, but also because so much of their time is consumed by paperwork and administrative tasks. In fact, clinicians can spend nearly 40% of their day on documentation instead of caring for patients. On top of that, claims processing and prior authorizations often get stuck in slow, manual reviews, which delay treatment for patients and impact revenue for providers. And with the constant flood of new medical research, it’s almost impossible for professionals to keep up.
How Agentic AI Helps
The administrative backlog in healthcare is ameliorated with the help of agentic AI whose automation streamlines the process of intaking patients, processing their claims, and documentation. Agents pull patient data off records, forms and wearables to create a complete patient profile pre-visit-saving clinicians up to 20 minutes per case.
On claims, agents can extract relevant codes, cross-check policy terms and auto-process or escalate requests, cutting turn around time up to 50%.
AI-based assistants during consultation sessions create clinical reports in real-time through speech-to-text and NLP to satisfy SOAP models. The medications also aid in agent adherence to send them reminders and alert non-adherence. Pre-screening agents allow radiologists to enhance medical imaging screening as it notifies them of anomalies in the images, thus helping in the accuracy of diagnosis. Using autonomous summarization technology, physicians are empowered to quickly access synthesized knowledge within thousands of studies- allowing evidence-based decision making on a grand scale.
