Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary This study examines AI adoption in US hospitals using three distinct datasets: (i) Survey data from the American Hospital Association on AI for operations-related uses (27% adopt), (ii) Employment data from Revelio Labs on workers at hospitals with AI skills (14% adopt), and (iii) Publication data from Dimensions on hospital-affiliated researcher publications (8% adopt). Consistent with adoption patterns for the business internet and for electronic medical records, AI adoption is higher in metro areas and in larger hospitals. In contrast to the business internet, metro area and firm size do not appear to be substitute correlates with adoption.
