AI in Healthcare Is Booming but Is the Workforce Ready?
Dr. Kengia Sabree joins Better Health Tech to discuss AI adoption, workforce readiness, HIM, certification, and why healthcare transformation depends on people as much as technology.
Healthcare organizations are investing heavily in AI, from automation and diagnostics to predictive analytics and decision support systems. But as technology continues to move forward, many teams are still catching up.
This episode focuses on the workforce readiness gap behind healthcare AI adoption.
Shelby Soto sits down with Dr. Kengia Sabree, HIM Certification Coach, RHIA, PMP, CAHIMS, to discuss why healthcare teams need more than tools. They need training, certification, data discipline, compliance awareness, and operational confidence.
The discussion highlights the role of Health Information Management in the AI era, the risks of adopting AI without proper workforce preparation, and the steps healthcare leaders can take to build future-ready teams.
At the center of the conversation is a simple but powerful idea:
