2. For 60 percent of ASC leaders, data analytics is not used to help with surgery scheduling.
3. When asked whether artificial intelligence has influenced surgery and their organizations, 51 percent of ASC respondents said it hasn’t played a role.
4. One ASC reported using AI but did not specify how.
5. Another respondent commented that AI is “much too expensive right now” to be used in an ASC.
