Healthcare’s Next Workforce Shift: Making AI ‘Hireable’
Agentic AI is emerging as “hireable” digital labor in healthcare, according to Nvidia’s Kimberly Powell. She argued that once health system leaders stop viewing AI as software and start treating it as a workforce asset, the technology could rapidly reduce burnout and expand access to care.
Agentic AI is moving beyond standalone models in healthcare. These models are starting to function as “digital co-workers” that orchestrate tools, data and workflows to take on tasks once handled exclusively by clinicians and researchers, according to one health tech expert.
Kimberly Powell, vice president of healthcare at Nvidia, believes this shift could rapidly reduce burnout and expand clinical capacity, but only once health system leaders stop viewing AI as software and start treating it as hireable labor.
