Summary
This article from IT for Business, the fourth instalment in a series on IT and AI in hospitals, describes how artificial intelligence is gradually becoming established in French public institutions to address concrete shortcomings: lost medical time, disorganised care pathways and underused data. According to the Fédération hospitalière de France, 65% of public institutions have already deployed AI use cases and 90% plan to do so within three years. Non-clinical tasks (reports, data entry) now take up 20 to 30% of doctors' time, up to 20 hours per week, a burden that more than two thirds of practitioners consider to be growing and that 60% link to a deterioration in the relationship with patients. The article, which is truncated because it is restricted to subscribers, also points out that the lack of interoperable information systems limits the scope of this transformation.
