    You focus on smart, scalable solutions. I look for tech that improves care delivery without creating unnecessary complexity or cost. That means using data to target gaps, automating routine tasks, and integrating tools that support clinical decisions and streamline workflows. I also evaluate ROI early—will this tool improve outcomes, reduce waste, or enhance patient experience? Technology should solve problems, not create them. Even with tight budgets, the right tech can drive impact where it matters most.

    Balancing budgets with quality patient care is tough, but leveraging technology, especially AI, can make an immediate impact. AI-driven tools can optimize routine activities, like patient scheduling and resource allocation, reducing unnecessary overhead. For instance, AI can predict patient needs based on historical data, helping you allocate resources more efficiently. Automating tasks such as billing and medical record management frees up staff time to focus on direct patient care. Additionally, AI-powered tools can assist in clinical decision-making, improving care accuracy while reducing errors. This way, you can keep costs in check without compromising patient outcomes.
