When Hollywood makes a movie about the future involving artificial intelligence, it usually ends with the machines rising up. The more realistic future, however, is likely to involve integrating AI into the workforce to help us do our jobs even better — and that future is closer than we think. According to a recent survey, 68% of health care executives believe that, by 2022, every employee in their organization will have access to a team of bots to help them do their work.

More than 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, with the 80-and-older segment growing the fastest and more likely to be homebound or home-limited; the number of people ages 65 and older will more than double between 2010 and 2050. When you look behind the numbers at the patient stories, home-based primary care goes from being a compelling concept to a “no brainer.”

Providers are slowly but steadily transitioning to value-based care models, but staffing shortages and a general lack of resources are the most persistent barriers to achieving this transformation, according to a new Definitive Healthcare survey.
