Exploring the possibilities of a new healthcare.

Let’s get real: Healthcare is broken. You know it. I know it. Every clinician who came into this field from a desire to care for others, knows this to be undeniably true. We feel it everyday when we enter our clinics, hospitals, and practices. We feel the burden of time-based productivity metrics, utilization rates, and the expectation to behave like cogs in a giant, soul-crushing machine aimed at extracting revenue from our patients in exchange for “units” of treatment.

Healthcare should be about one thing: PEOPLE! Yet how many clinics, organizations, or healthcare professionals live their lives by the numbers? Metrics & spreadsheets drive most of our healthcare decision makers and administrators. That leaves patients -the people we serve- lost in the mix. Patient’s feel lost, forgotten, and ignored by a system that prioritizes efficiency & productivity over their own personal experiences, priorities, or goals.

It’s time for clinicians to finally stand up and say what we’ve all been thinking for so long: enough is enough!

It’s time for healthcare organizations to commit to serving the individual needs of each unique patient that they are charged with serving.

Join Rafael E. Salazar II, MHS, OTR/L (Rafi), principal of Rehab U Practice Solutions and host of The Better Outcomes Show as he explores the possibilities of a new healthcare. Guests range from clinicians trying new techniques and treatments to executives and entrepreneurs exploring new service delivery methods, business models, and organizational structures.

155: How AI is Shaping the Future of Healthcare: Insights from 288 Studies

This episode of The Better Outcomes Show explores how artificial intelligence (AI) transforms healthcare delivery and decision-making. Drawing from a structured review of 288 peer-reviewed articles published between 1992 and 2021, we break down key themes, trends, and implications for clinicians, health systems, and patients. From diagnostics to health services management, we’ll look at where AI is already making an impact—and where the field still needs to grow.

What we cover in this episode:

-The rapid growth of AI in healthcare research and its emerging significance.
-Five core applications of AI in healthcare: health services management, predictive medicine, patient data handling, diagnostics, and clinical decision-making.
-How AI supports clinicians by improving diagnostic accuracy, predicting disease spread, customizing treatments, and streamlining administrative tasks.
-The leading countries in AI healthcare research and the current state of international collaboration.
-Key trends in AI research, including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, telemedicine, and COVID-19-related applications.
-Identified gaps in research, such as the need for cost-benefit analyses and considerations for low-resource settings.
-The importance of ethical considerations, data quality, and workforce skill development in AI implementation.
-The necessity of balancing AI support with preserving physicians’ critical thinking to avoid over-reliance or “de-skilling.”
