@tjparker @TrilliantHealth Thank you @OpenAI . Original chart from here btw: https://www.trillianthealth.co...

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth The irony is healthcare doesn’t need more admin automation—it needs less admin altogether. Until we rebuild systems around clinical logic instead of billing logic, admin costs will always grow faster than care. AI won’t fix it unless clinicians lead the rebuild.

@DrSeanS @TrilliantHealth Up to guys like you, friend

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth America spends more on health admin than the world spends on healthcare for the poorest four billion humans. The future will not remember us well.

@itodd888 @TrilliantHealth Stories not over 🙇‍♂️ AI has entered the chat

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth That’s exactly why physician and other provider reimbursement for actual healthcare is down 40% against inflation over the last decade, while overall costs have increased… it’s all going to wasteful “administrative overhead”.

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth only in broken systems - not in DirectCare

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth FTE bloating, transaction costs, are over-governance are common to admin cost escalation around the world, then we have the excessive insurance-PBMs-profit taking unique to the US healthcare system.

@AI_4_Healthcare @TrilliantHealth Nothing like the US system, am I right

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth Curbing the admin to provider ratio is the first step!

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth “AI fixes this”

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth Amazing what 141,000 billing codes will require! Return to prior codes of 5,000

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth Always… more government= higher costs.

@cashptfuture @TrilliantHealth Don't tread on me aye

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth @grok what is the data source of this visual?

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth Because of all the regulations.

@HealthcareAIGuy @pedsscrub @TrilliantHealth It’s all hospital spending

@HealthcareAIGuy @TrilliantHealth Definitely a big issue. Healthcare is not sustainable in the current climate - a major disruption is needed.
