IntroductionandBackground HistoricalContextofAIinHealthcareandHospitalOperations TheapplicationofAIinhealthcarehasevolvedoverdecades.Earlyefforts—includingexpertsystemsandrule-basedalgorithmsinthe1980s–1990s—focusedonclinicalsupport(e.g.diagnosingdiseases)andadministrativetaskslikecoding([13]en.wikipedia.org).However,widespreadadoptionofAIwashamperedbylimiteddataandcomputingpower.Inthe2000sand2010s,thedigitizationofmedicalrecordsandadvancesinmachinelearningreignitedinterest:companiesandhospitalsbeganexperimentingwithAIformedicalimaging,triage,and predictiveanalytics.PioneeringsystemsincludedIBMWatsoninoncology,earlydigitalintakeassistants,andpharmacyrobots.Nevertheless,AIuseremainedlargelyexperimentalorpilot-scale;a2023reviewnotedthatAItoolswereoftendeployedwithoutpropertestingandwithstakeholderskepticismabouttheirempathyorreliability([14]en.wikipedia.org).
