Going forward, AI has the potential to help balance needs across regions, ensuring care delivery doesn’t compromise chronic or long-term care in the face of emergencies.

Ethical Considerations And Systemic Impact

While AI holds significant promise in healthcare, its implementation must be approached thoughtfully. Challenges such as bias in training data, lack of interoperability and concerns around patient consent and data privacy (particularly under HIPAA) need to be proactively addressed. Effective deployment of AI requires close collaboration between policymakers, clinicians and technologists to establish standards that ensure equitable and inclusive outcomes.
