Today, we’re standing at the edge at one of the biggest technological shifts to ever hit healthcare.
For decades, we’ve relied on systems that don’t talk to each other. On-premise, single tenant deployments of EHRs that rely on fire and HL7 that are all implemented differently, duct taped together by custom integrations.
Agentic AI is fundamentally rewiring the game.
For the first time in healthcare, a truly free and open ecosystem, and it’s going to start with interoperability.
The key breakthrough here is standards. Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a new standard that provides secure access into your healthcare systems, so that your user never gets the incorrect information that could lead to adverse healthcare outcomes.
An AI-enabled future looks radically different than what we have today. A patient could ask Google or Alexa to change the location of their prescription pickup, and an agent would immediately handle that behind the scenes. Or a network of agents could scan the clinician’s notes following an appointment, called five different specialists, navigate the network availability with the patient preferences, the ratings and reviews, the acuity of the need, and instantly schedule an appointment – no phone tag required.
AI will have a more profound impact on our industry than any revolution before it: mainframes, social, mobile, dare I say the internet – and here at Artera, we are seeing it fundamentally rewrite patient access and communications, a space that we’ve been apart of for over a decade, on behalf of hundreds of millions of patients.
The standards we set today will change the course of healthcare for decades to come. Agentic AI gives us that once in a generation opportunity.
It is finally healthcare’s time.
