AI should augment human decision-making rather than replace it. He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;AI should be an augmentation to human decision-making. It should be like the smart medical student is providing you with a review of the research and suggesting that there are some things to look at or test.

Only after that, they can choose the right innovative technologies to help transform and streamline these workflows.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, what are the initial steps healthcare organizations undertake to transform traditional processes and implement &#8216;smart&#8217; technologies? Ivanov continued:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<ol>\n<li>First of all, healthcare organizations need to <strong>partner with expert consultants<\/strong> to analyze their business and clinical workflows and identify priorities for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itransition.com\/healthcare\/smart-hospital\" target=\"_blank\">smart hospital transformation<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Then, they need to <strong>assess the organization&#8217;s network capacity<\/strong>, as well as the quantity and quality of the organization&#8217;s hardware, software, and other resources. This step is vital to determine if the organization can implement new technologies and workflows right away or if any changes to the IT infrastructure are needed first.<\/li>\n<li>From there on, healthcare organizations can <strong>create a detailed transformation plan<\/strong>: define the project&#8217;s scope, select the technical stack, and work out an implementation strategy that ensures the hospital&#8217;s processes&#8217; continuity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Major Challenges of Smart Hospital Adoption<\/h3>\n<p>The challenges of smart hospital adoption are closely connected to the overall challenges the healthcare industry is facing, according to Ivanov.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>medical personnel shortages<\/strong> worldwide mean that the hospital staff is overworked and reluctant to embrace innovation as it requires time and effort from them.<\/p>\n<p>Another problem is achieving <strong>interoperability<\/strong> since hospitals typically use legacy systems that aren&#8217;t compatible with innovative technologies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thus, transforming a traditional hospital into a smart one often requires revamping the entire IT ecosystem, which is costly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, <strong>network connectivity<\/strong> isn&#8217;t sufficient to support smart technologies in many geographical regions, limiting hospitals&#8217; opportunities.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Smart hospitals represent an innovative leap in healthcare, leveraging advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, and robotics to enhance the efficiency and quality of care.
