Nearly 1 in 5 healthcare CEOs expect that generative artificial intelligence will replace at least 5% of their workforce in 2024, a new PricewaterhouseCoopers survey found.

However, that is below the 25% of CEOs across all industries who predict the trend will happen at their company this year, with media and entertainment leading the way at 32%, according to the Jan. 15 report that surveyed 4,702 CEOs around the globe.

“As business leaders are becoming less concerned about macroeconomic challenges, they are becoming more focused on disruptive forces within their industries,” PwC global chair Bob Moritz said in a Jan. 15 news release. “Whether it is accelerating the rollout of generative AI or building their business to address the challenges and opportunities of the climate transition, this is a year of transformation.”

Meanwhile, broader hiring trends could offset the AI-related reductions. Nearly half of healthcare CEOs say they expect to increase their headcounts by 5% or more in the next 12 months, the survey found.

“Before AE took over the anesthesia department was described by the surgeons as the worst in the history of our hospital. The prior management company was having a cancelled surgery per day. I am happy to report there has not been one since they have taken over the department. Additionally we have seen a 905 reduction if requested preop
lab tests. The anesthesia department is now the very best hospital department in our entire facility.”

“Even though they are physically located 1000 miles away Anesthesia Experts just does not provide great anesthesia coverage they personally engage surgeons to increase their business. Last year my surgical volume rose by 24% and we are currently 50% ahead of last year and all of that growth is organic.”

“Anesthesia Experts is more responsive than anyone I have dealt with. They are available by phone whenever needed and will be on site for any need or request and has been on site to address issues before we can make the request.”

“While problems are extremely rare when they do occur Anesthesia Experts quickly and professionally implements a solution. Our surgical volume has grown over 100 cases per month and now our GI docs want to perform all of their endoscopies in our hospital instead of their GI lab that they own!”
