The healthcare industry is witnessing rapid advancements in technology, with growing interest in innovations like large language models (LLMs), hyperautomation, and personalized health. But what do these buzzworthy technologies actually mean for healthcare companies? How can they be applied, and what should be considered for successful implementation? These are challenging questions, but a new report from Gartner, titled "Hype Cycle for US Healthcare Payers," offers some insightful answers.
Gartner's Hype Cycle framework is a well-known tool that helps break down emerging technologies based on their maturity and impact. It guides decision-makers through the journey from early innovation to technologies that are already proven and ready for widespread use. This particular report highlights the key technologies that are most relevant to US healthcare payer organizations.
Ushur, a leader in healthcare technology, is proud to be featured in two critical areas of this report: large language models (LLMs) and hyperautomation for healthcare payers. Both of these technologies are recognized as transformational with high-impact potential, and both are areas where Ushur is making significant contributions.
Large language models (LLMs) are AI systems behind popular tools like ChatGPT. These models excel in understanding human language, generating text, summarizing information, and intelligently routing it to the appropriate channels. LLMs provide natural language processing capabilities that allow healthcare payers to improve customer engagement, offer personalized responses, and ultimately deliver better service.
Hyperautomation, on the other hand, is the orchestration of multiple technologies, tools, and platforms to automate business and IT processes as much as possible. It often incorporates AI technologies, including LLMs, to streamline workflows and make systems smarter and more adaptable. By integrating LLMs, hyperautomation becomes even more powerful, enabling automated processes to interact effectively with human users and perform complex tasks autonomously.
For example, LLMs can interpret customer service inquiries, classify them, and even generate responses, while hyperautomation handles the necessary backend processes to resolve these issues. This could involve anything from claims processing to prior authorizations or data updates. The combination of LLMs and hyperautomation reduces manual workloads, improves accuracy, and creates more seamless experiences for healthcare members and staff alike.
Ushur is prominently highlighted as a vendor in both hyperautomation and LLMs, which speaks to the value we bring to healthcare payers. But our impact goes beyond these two areas—we are also working with customers on other key technologies identified in Gartner's Hype Cycle, such as:
These technologies span the entire Hype Cycle curve, from cutting-edge innovations to more mature solutions. Whether a healthcare organization needs something that is still on the horizon or a technology that is already widely adopted, Ushur can help bring these solutions to life.
