(TheConservativeTimes.org) – According to reports from the health sector, there are nervous families in the United States who are waiting for organ transplants and yearning for a second shot at life for themselves or a loved one.
The CEO of DexCare, Derek Streat, writes that his son required a kidney transplant when he was only three years old. It was immediately apparent to them that they were up against impossible odds. On average, people have to wait up to five years before receiving a kidney transplant. A more significant number of people require kidneys than there are available.
Streat notes that growing demand makes it difficult for Americans to visit a doctor while essential organs and families wait. Seeing a doctor now often takes an average of 26 days. A mild case of illness may quickly escalate. Our health care system is engulfed in a severe supply and demand imbalance, leading to long wait times to see a doctor, says Streat.
Demand for care rises as physicians retire, and shortages are at crisis levels. The COVID-19 epidemic increased burnout or forced doctors out due to vaccine mandates, and many other doctors will retire within a decade. There aren’t enough residency spaces for medical school grads, and fewer choose primary-care professions over specialist care for better income.
Streat reveals that health systems may now combine data to monitor and anticipate doctor, nurse, and service usage and allocate resources to serve more individuals in need. It can balance resources by predicting admission rates, staffing demands, and seasonal increases using predictive analysis.
Today, doctors spend one-sixth of their time on administrative chores, contributing to burnout. AI may ease this strain and reduce manpower shortages that delay treatment.
AI will eventually enhance vulnerable population triage and care. Generative AI may crowdsource patient information, demographic discrepancies, and propensity models to treat accurately. Americans’ health system can progress from treating manifestations to fixing the cause.
Streat believes that the sooner we increase the doctor and nurse supply, the more quickly we will heal our country. The solution combines technology and creativity.
