The gen AI prescription for healthcare
Artificial Intelligence | Generative AI | Healthcare
September 6, 2024 – Generative AI (gen AI) has the power to reshape the healthcare industry over time, and organizations are beginning to take notice. The technology could dramatically enhance how patients navigate the healthcare ecosystem and could also streamline operational efficiencies for the sector, say partner Jessica Lamb and colleagues. Specifically, gen AI may have the biggest value in clinician and clinical productivity, according to most respondents in a recent McKinsey survey. Overall expectations suggest that interest in gen AI is spreading beyond clinical applications to enhance other aspects of patient care interactions.

Visual form
Single-panel ranked bar chart.
Layout / body structure
The chart is arranged as one horizontal row of seven boxed bars read from left to right, with each category name above its bar and the percentage printed directly inside the column.
What is being compared
It compares the healthcare functions that respondents believe stand to benefit the most from generative AI, from clinical productivity through strategy and growth.
Measurement system
The measure is the percent of respondents, based on a sample size of 100, and the bars are labeled directly with whole-number percentages rather than relying on a separate vertical scale.
Visible structure inside the graphic
Each category sits inside its own outlined box, the tallest bars appear first on the left, and the darker bars on the right visually reinforce the lower-valued categories as the sequence descends.
Main takeaway from the visual
The visual clearly concentrates value in patient-facing and clinician-facing work: productivity, engagement, and administrative efficiency dominate the left side, while strategy, growth, research, and infrastructure sit much lower.
Key standout values or extremes
Clinician and clinical productivity leads at 73 percent, followed by patient or member engagement and experience at 62 percent and administrative efficiency and effectiveness at 60 percent; strategy and growth is lowest at 28 percent, with research and education at 30 percent and IT or infrastructure at 42 percent.
