Adopting AI Agents In Healthcare: A New Era Of Intelligent Care

Rajiv Kumaresan, RPA Technology Lead, Architect, Intelligent Automation & AI Automation Expert at UiPath AI25 Award Recipient, CareSource. In recent years, the healthcare industry has undergone a dramatic transformation, with AI taking center stage. Among the most promising developments in this space is the emergence of AI agents—intelligent systems designed to perform specific tasks autonomously or assist humans in complex workflows. AI agents are autonomous systems capable of perceiving their environment, processing information, making decisions and taking actions. In the clinical and administrative domains, AI agents can interpret medical images and diagnostics, summarize patient data from electronic health records (EHRs), automate scheduling, billing and claims processing, assist in real-time patient monitoring and triage and engage in natural language conversations with patients via chatbots, autopilot and virtual nurses. The global healthcare industry stands at a defining crossroads, tasked with improving patient outcomes, reducing operational costs and addressing clinician burnout—all while managing the explosion of medical data and patient expectations. The adoption of AI agents in healthcare is an essential strategy for institutions that seek efficiency, agility and smarter care delivery. It goes beyond just implementing a software solution; it's about integrating intelligent capabilities into the healthcare ecosystem to drive outcomes. AI agents are transforming efficiency in key areas of the healthcare industry. By analyzing massive datasets—from lab results to radiology images—and providing decision support to clinicians, AI agents can reduce diagnostic errors, flag anomalies early and help personalize treatment plans. For instance, AI-powered diagnostic assistants can review radiographs or MRIs and detect patterns that may escape even the trained human eye, often with remarkable speed and precision. The healthcare sector is notoriously burdened with administrative overhead. AI agents streamline workflows by automating repetitive tasks—freeing up time for healthcare professionals to focus more on direct patient care and reducing operational costs. Conversational AI agents or virtual health assistants can interact with patients 24/7. These agents can answer common medical queries, remind patients about medication or gather preconsultation data. This not only improves patient engagement but also offloads routine tasks from clinical staff, improving overall care continuity. AI agents integrated with IoT-enabled wearables can continuously monitor patients with chronic conditions, alerting healthcare providers in real time about deteriorating vitals. Agents can also be equipped to triage symptoms and recommend next steps, potentially reducing ER visits and hospital readmissions. When designed and deployed responsibly, AI agents can augment human intelligence rather than replace it, creating a collaborative ecosystem that leverages the best of both. They can unlock new levels of efficiency, accuracy and responsiveness across the care continuum. In our organization, I am involved in developing AI agents for various use cases. One of the most impactful initiatives we are currently focusing on is medical record summarization. We are building an AI agent capable of summarizing extensive medical records within the clinical domain. This can offer significant time savings for registered nurses, medical directors and other healthcare professionals. By incorporating citations at the summary level, users can easily reference specific sections of the original document. This is facilitated through a human-in-the-loop (HITL) approach, enabling clinicians to quickly validate summaries without reading through the entire document. Moreover, the summarization process can be customized using natural language models and GenAI capabilities, allowing the output to be tailored to standardized formats and specific information needs. This flexibility enhances usability and ensures the solution aligns with clinical workflows and compliance standards. Despite the clear benefits, integrating AI agents into healthcare systems comes with challenges: • Data Privacy And Security: Sensitive patient information must be handled with the highest level of compliance (e.g., HIPAA in the U.S. and the GDPR in the EU). • Bias And Fairness: AI models must be trained on diverse datasets to avoid biased outcomes. • Clinical Trust: Gaining trust from medical professionals requires transparency, interpretability and proven efficacy. • Integration Complexity: Seamless integration with legacy systems remains a hurdle for many organizations. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve with increasing patient expectations, growing data complexity and mounting operational pressures, organizations that proactively adopt AI-driven solutions will be better equipped to deliver high-quality, personalized and scalable care. These forward-thinking providers can expect to improve clinical outcomes and enhance workforce productivity and patient satisfaction, setting a new standard for care delivery in the digital age. AI agents will be increasingly woven into the fabric of healthcare, extending far beyond back-office automation. Often working silently in the background, these agents will support clinicians and engage patients at the right moments, ensuring care is more proactive, precise and continuous. This quiet yet powerful integration of AI agents into healthcare workflows signals a shift from reactive care models to intelligent, anticipatory systems that are better aligned with the needs of modern healthcare. This shift holds the promise of a future where healthcare is not only more efficient but also more humane, accessible and outcomes-driven.

Can Economy Right The Ship In Wake Of Tariffs, Market Uncertainty?

Eldon Dryden Pence III serves as the Chief Investment Officer of Pence Capital Management . getty Uncertainty is painful, and the first 100 days of the second Trump Administration have injected a healthy amount of market uncertainty. Part of Trump's playbook for his robust policy agenda is moving faster than anyone can keep up, evidenced by the breathtaking number of executive actions during his first hours in office. While initial tariffs created a catalyst for a market correction, margin pressure has extended that further, with financial experts questioning whether the economy is on the brink of recession. Resolving trade differences with Europe and China, and codifying a sweeping tax bill to provide relief to the middle class are essential for the health of the economy. While I still expect new records for corporate earnings and the stock market to be set this year, let's analyze how the economy arrived here. With the fifth anniversary of the pandemic behind us, many might be surprised to learn that the $5.3 trillion fiscal response remains a fundamental driver of today's economy. The U.S. pandemic fiscal response was the equivalent of roughly 25% of the 2020 nominal GDP. A multiplier effect still lingers from that stimulus. History shows a similar pattern occurred in the middle of the 20th century when the stimulus from World War II remained into the 1970s. Known as the Golden Age of Capitalism, manufacturing and a rise in oil production were critical components of this decades-long economic boom. While global geopolitical events could create short-term ripple effects, data shows that the markets usually shake it off within six months. A new administration, tariffs and taxes could each play a role. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in January, the president proclaimed, 'America is back and open for business.' He was confident in that assertion, underpinned by an Economic Policy Institute report that confirms he inherited 'the strongest economy for an incoming administration since the George W. Bush administration.' According to an analysis of first-term administrations from Eisenhower through Trump, the first year of a new administration brings an average market return of 7%, and the first year of a second term provides an average 9.7% market return. Trump's second term differs from most of his predecessors because it has not been consecutive, begging the question: Will the markets react as though this is the first year of a second term or the first year of a new administration? Based on average historical returns, the difference between the two is 2.7%. Yet, economists have reservations. Mark Zandi, Moody's Analytics chief economist, warned of potential headwinds, citing that immigration and tariff policy could bring unintended consequences, including tax increases and job loss. The National Retail Federation also anticipated skyrocketing prices on clothing, household appliances, furniture and more. While headlines have investors consumed by China trade talks, it's the EU we should focus on, representing our aggregate No. 1 trading partner. The initial 25% tariffs on EU cars, steel, and aluminum and 20% broader goods in April have been delayed until early July to set the stage for a wider agreement. As rhetoric heats back up with China, we are far from a consensus. But tariffs are just one piece in a two-step policy of tariffs and tax cuts, and early estimates show that—on net—Trump's tax cuts are modestly more stimulative than his tariffs are restrictive. If passed, the president's 'big, beautiful bill' would extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and institute a rash of new tax reductions including increasing the state and local tax (SALT) deduction. It would also temporarily lift the standard deduction for people over 65, raise the child tax credit and eliminate taxes on tips and overtime. While the final bill could change after amendments in the Senate, a preliminary topline analysis from the Tax Foundation found that the House GOP's version would boost long-run GDP by 0.8% and add approximately 983,000 jobs. In comparison, the Tax Foundation estimates that Trump's tariff plans would lower long-run GDP by 0.8% and cost 713,000 jobs. Essentially, the combination of tax cuts and tariffs may result in a net addition of 270,000 jobs to the economy and neutral impact on growth. Consumer leverage will steady the ship. It's difficult to change habits, and behavior drives consumption. Despite tariff threats or actual tariffs, I remain cautiously optimistic that consumers will find the most straightforward, cheapest utility of what they want: bearing the brunt of cost increases without dramatically changing their behavior. Economists say reciprocal free trade is good, and in a perfect world, all trade would be free to allow countries to produce what they do best. But that's not how the world works. American businesses are competitive. We have the greatest global GDP. If all American companies need is a level playing field, maybe tariffs aren't bad. So, let's not be terrified of tariffs. With consumer leverage on our side, most partners need us more than we need them. Yes, uncertainty is painful, but consumers still haven't felt the broad repercussions. If the Trump Administration can make good on these two big deliverables of settling the tariff dispute with Europe or China and passing comprehensive tax reform, they hopefully won't see it at all.

The Trump Deduction: A simpler path to tax-free tips and overtime

Print Close By Brandon Arnold Published June 13, 2025 The current version of President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act delivers on one of his core campaign promises – exempting tips and overtime pay from federal taxation. But he could score a victory on this promise in a more beautiful way by creating a new "Trump Tips and Overtime Deduction" that would be available exclusively to workers who receive tips or overtime pay. Tax-free tips and overtime are politically popular, but messy and problematic in almost every other way imaginable. They are exceedingly complicated from an administrative perspective, as employers and employees will undoubtedly go to great lengths to reclassify earnings as tipped or overtime pay. This is going to create a nightmare for the IRS, which is already one of the most incompetent agencies in the federal government. TAX-FREE OVERTIME COULD BE MIDTERM MAGIC FOR GOP On top of that, these are budget-busting policies at a time of nearly unprecedented levels of red ink. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, "no tax on tips" and "no tax on overtime" are scored at a combined $164 billion over 10 years; however, that number is somewhat misleading as the policies are scheduled to be in place for only four years. If they are extended across the 10-year window – which is very likely – they could easily reduce revenue collections by half a trillion dollars. That's an enormous amount of revenue, especially considering that these policies are not likely to generate substantial economic growth or job creation. These resources would be better utilized reducing our massive federal debt or enacting across-the-board, pro-growth tax policy. The "Trump Tips and Overtime Deduction" is a much better way to give President Trump a resounding win on one of his campaign promises. This ingenious policy would not only provide much-needed relief to working-class Americans, it would also do so without overcomplicating the tax code or heaping enormous amounts of additional debt on future generations. The Trump deduction is simple. It is a bonus deduction of $1,000 available to all workers who are eligible for overtime or who work in positions that customarily receive tips. That's it. There would be no added complexity involved while completing your taxes and no need to quantify what income is derived from overtime or tips versus via wages. You wouldn't even need to demonstrate that you earned $1,000 or more in eligible pay. If you meet the requirements for the Trump Deduction, you simply check a box on your tax form and collect the extra $1,000 deduction. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION With 6 million taxpayers reporting tip income and 80 million working hourly and eligible for overtime, an enhanced standard deduction would be a tax cut of around $13 billion a year, compared to the more complicated $45 billion a year currently projected. The mechanics for the federal government are also pretty straightforward. As with the current legislative text of the current "big, beautiful bill," the Treasury secretary would publish a list of traditionally tipped occupations. If you work in one of these categories, you check a box on your tax form. Workers who are nonexempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act – that includes most full-time workers who make $35,568 or less – can check the corresponding box on their tax forms. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP If either box is checked, you get the Trump Deduction. It's a simple, beautiful way to deliver pro-worker tax relief without complicating the tax code or busting the budget. But perhaps most importantly, it provides a huge win for Trump and his campaign promise to end taxes on tips and overtime pay. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM BRANDON ARNOLD Print Close URL
