As even Oprah can tell you, AI and analytics is all the rage at the moment. But the truth is, at least in healthcare, there is a lot more talk than there is action. And by action, I mean health systems paying for analytics products and particularly those that feature healthy servings of AI, machine learning, blah blah, you know the buzzwords.
