AI-Powered Healthcare Reform: Lessons from Innovations in the Petroleum Industry and Fraud Detection Methods

Abstract

By improving predictive analytics, personalized medicine, diagnostics, and operational efficiency, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry. This review examines how AI can be applied to key healthcare challenges like fraud detection, data management, and predictive maintenance by drawing on innovations in the financial and petroleum sectors. AI has a wide range of applications in the healthcare industry, from real-time patient monitoring and personalized treatment plans to advanced medical imaging and operational optimization. However, despite these advantages, there are a number of technical and ethical issues that need to be resolved, such as managing algorithmic bias, ensuring data quality and integration, and protecting patient privacy and data security. Additionally, ethical issues pertaining to informed consent, transparency, and equity need to be carefully considered in order to uphold justice and trust. Similar to how fraud detection techniques from the financial sector can improve the identification and prevention of fraudulent activities in healthcare billing and claims processing, lessons from the petroleum industry can be applied to improve the reliability and efficiency of medical equipment and healthcare operations. Examples of these lessons include predictive maintenance and operational optimization. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare offers substantial opportunities for advancement but also poses significant challenges that must be addressed. Healthcare organizations can fully realize the potential of AI to improve patient care, operational efficiency, and system integrity by addressing both technical and ethical issues and leveraging cross-industry insights. The path forward involves a commitment to innovation, ethical practices, and interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure that AI benefits are distributed fairly and effectively across the healthcare system.
