Published

on

Doctors across the United States are grappling with burnout, staffing shortages, and excessive administrative burdens, according to a recent survey.

However, amidst these challenges, many physicians express optimism about the potential of artificial intelligence to alleviate these issues, the survey found.

Commissioned by Athenahealth, a provider of cloud-based healthcare tools, the survey unveiled that more than 90% of physicians experience burnout regularly.

The primary driver behind this burnout is cited as excessive administrative tasks, with 64% of doctors feeling overwhelmed by paperwork requirements.

Over 60% of respondents admitted to considering leaving the medical field due to these challenges.

Manage workloads

Physicians are resorting to spending an average of 15 hours per week working beyond their regular hours to manage their workloads, a phenomenon often referred to as “pajama time.”

Additionally, nearly 60% of doctors expressed dissatisfaction with the amount of in-person time they have with patients, while over 75% reported feeling burdened by patients’ excessive communication demands outside scheduled visits.

The survey also shed light on the challenges faced by healthcare organizations, with 78% of physicians acknowledging the impact of poor staff retention and shortages within their workplaces. Furthermore, less than 40% of doctors expressed confidence in their employers’ financial stability.

Australia’s AI workforce revolution: automation paves the way for a four-day work week.

In Short

UiPath’s report highlights the rapid shift towards “agentic automation,” where AI makes autonomous decisions, encouraging businesses to reassess roles and harness automation for productivity. This evolution may enable a four-day work week and necessitates the retraining of staff while ensuring regulations are in place for trust and compliance with AI integration.

The trend towards work reallocation is rapidly advancing, with UiPath’s new report identifying significant shifts in AI and automation.

Key insights from the report suggest a move towards “agentic automation,” where AI begins to make autonomous decisions. Yelena GalstianHead of Solutions and Customer Advisory at UiPath shares her key insights.

Organisations are encouraged to reassess existing roles and identify areas where automation can enhance productivity.

A critical aspect will be the orchestration of collaboration between human employees, AI agents, and software robots to ensure effective teamwork.

Looking ahead, the motto for businesses is to “redesign and reassign” processes while considering how AI can handle repetitive tasks, allowing human employees to focus on more complex responsibilities.

As organisations embrace these changes, we could see a potential transition to a four-day work week, made feasible through increased efficiency and productivity from AI.

For further insights into the research and methodologies for implementing AI in business, interested parties can connect with the UiPath team through their website.

AI’s role in transforming supply chains: Efficiency, forecasting, optimisation

Published

AI is transforming supply chains: enhancing efficiency, demand forecasting, delivery optimisation through advanced technologies.

Supply chain issues continue to challenge industries worldwide.

AI is increasingly seen as a solution to enhance efficiency and resilience within this sector.

To understand its impact, Jyot Singh, CEO of RTS Labs, joined to share his insights.

By utilising historical data, algorithms can predict future demand, facilitating better inventory management.

Additionally, advances in generative AI further enhance these forecasts by incorporating sentiment analysis and other factors.

AI also optimises delivery routes by analysing real-time data on traffic and weather conditions, thus reducing costs.

Companies, such as UPS, utilise technologies to streamline last-mile delivery, which is the most expensive portion of the supply chain.

AI’s role extends to improving vendor management and procurement efficiency through smart contracts and data-driven decision-making.

This helps businesses assess vendor reliability and make informed choices about allocating resources effectively.

Moreover, the digital twin technology allows businesses to simulate their supply chains virtually, testing various scenarios to identify potential disruptions.

American technological research and consulting firm Gartner predicts that by 2026, 60% of global supply chains will adopt digital twin applications, enhancing their ability to manage complex logistics.
