Healthcare IT News recently interviewed Russ Graney, founder and CEO of Aidin, a care management platform vendor, to discuss the upcoming trends and technologies in healthcare for the year 2025. Graney highlighted three key areas of focus for health IT leaders: the “real” AI revolution, the “great tech reckoning,” and the emergence of care management tech as a supply chain powerhouse.
The “real” AI revolution in healthcare is expected to continue evolving behind the scenes in 2025. While much attention has been given to AI’s potential in clinical settings, Graney emphasized the transformative power of AI in addressing operational challenges within health systems. By automating administrative processes and optimizing patient transitions, AI technology can enhance workflow efficiency, improve patient outcomes, and help health systems navigate financial pressures.
In discussing the “great tech reckoning” facing hospitals and health systems in 2025, Graney highlighted the need for organizations to reassess their digital investments. With a focus on technology that delivers measurable outcomes and streamlines processes, healthcare organizations will need to prioritize platforms that enhance efficiency and drive financial success. Embracing interoperable systems and innovative vendors will be key to navigating this shift successfully.
Graney also pointed to the emergence of care management as a supply chain powerhouse in 2025. By leveraging advanced technology to streamline patient transitions and connect care teams with high-quality providers, care management teams can drive operational excellence and improve the overall patient experience. This shift positions care management as a strategic driver of both clinical and financial success, solidifying its role in healthcare efficiency.
As health IT leaders prepare for the trends and technologies shaping healthcare in 2025, the focus will be on leveraging AI for operational improvements, reassessing digital investments for measurable outcomes, and empowering care management as a supply chain powerhouse. By embracing these advancements, health systems can enhance patient care, drive efficiency, and position themselves for success in the evolving healthcare landscape.
