Everybody in healthcare is speaking about synthetic intelligence, and most well being organizations are doing one thing with it, even in pilots or small-scale use instances. However some hospitals and well being programs are actually main the pack.
WHY IT MATTERS
CB Insights this week launched the Hospital AI Readiness Index. The scorecard is billed as a data-driven rating that tracks modern well being programs on how artistic they’re being with their AI initiatives – and the way properly they’re doing in placing them to work for higher medical and operational processes and outcomes.
The index makes use of CB Insights information to evaluate hospitals on two components: innovation and execution.
For the previous, authors explored what they’re doing to develop or purchase new AI and automation instruments and whether or not, as an example, they’ve specialised AI analysis departments. For the latter, they checked out AI deployments – the place they’re occurring and what kind of real-world successes they’re enabling.
Maybe unsurprisingly, three heavy-hitting well being programs high the listing. Mayo Clinic is tops, in accordance with CB Insights, adopted by Intermountain and Cleveland Clinic.
Mayo was cited, for instance, for having filed greater than 50 patents for AI-enabled instruments in cardiology, oncology and elsewhere, and for having invested in AI startups tackling an array of medical and operational use instances.
Intermountain and Cleveland Clinic, in the meantime have been acknowledged, respectively, for the previous’s homegrown improvement of an automatic medical resolution assist system, and the latter’s many productive AI-centric enterprise relationships, equivalent to a “partnership with PathAI centered on leveraging pathology algorithms to reinforce translational analysis and medical care.”
Here is the full listing of 25 well being programs, in accordance with CB Insights (observe a tie at #17):
1. Mayo Clinic
2. Intermountain Well being
3. Cleveland Clinic
4. Kaiser Permanente

24. Scripps Well being
ON THE RECORD
“We appeared on the high private-sector well being programs within the US (by hospital rely) and ranked them primarily based on how ready they’re to adapt to a quickly evolving AI panorama throughout two key pillars: innovation and execution,” mentioned CB Insights researchers in saying the brand new Hospital AI Readiness Index.
“The innovation rating measures a well being system’s monitor report of growing or buying novel AI capabilities,” they defined. “This rating is predicated on CB Insights information together with patents, acquisitions, and deal-making exercise. It additionally considers the presence of an AI-dedicated analysis middle.”
The execution rating, in the meantime, “measures a well being system’s capacity to deliver AI-powered services into medical apply in addition to deploy AI internally throughout enterprise and back-office capabilities. This rating is predicated on CB Insights information together with enterprise relationships, product launch media mentions, and earnings transcripts.”
