AI in Healthcare Is Booming but Is the Workforce Ready?

AI is moving fast in healthcare. From workflow automation and diagnostics to predictive analytics and decision support, healthcare organizations are investing heavily in AI. But one important question often gets overlooked: Are healthcare teams actually ready to use these systems? In this episode of the Better Health Tech Podcast, Shelby Soto speaks with Dr. Kengia Sabree, HIM Certification Coach, RHIA, PMP, CAHIMS, about the human side of healthcare transformation. They discuss workforce readiness, certification, HIM, compliance, training, and why AI adoption depends not only on technology, but also on people, processes, and operational readiness. Key topics include: • Why healthcare teams may not be fully ready for AI • Risks of adopting AI without proper training • The role of HIM in the AI era • Why certification still matters • How leaders can build future-ready teams • What professionals should learn to stay relevant AI does not replace the system. It depends on it. And the system depends on people. Follow Better Health Tech for practical conversations on healthcare technology, AI, digital health, and innovation.
