Healthcare AI: Build vs. Buy is a false dichotomy, integration is key

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Building AI tools for healthcare is often less challenging than integrating them into existing workflows and ensuring their continued accuracy. Many internally developed AI projects fail not due to initial development issues, but because they cannot adapt to real-world clinical or billing logic, leading to a high rate of abandonment. Furthermore, AI models degrade over time as policies and practices evolve, and a lack of clear ownership for monitoring and maintenance exacerbates this problem, ultimately increasing the cost and risk associated with healthcare AI.
