I keep hearing about AI getting more involved in healthcare like diagnosing scans, managing records, or even assisting in surgeries. What do you all think this means for jobs and salaries long term? Will AI create more high paying roles for people who can work along side it? or could it automate enough tasks to put downward pressure on wages or even replace some positions entirely? Thoughts?

It’s a great point. I do believe there will still have to be a lot of human involvement, so we won’t see a reduction of positions. However, a wage decrease I could see being very likely.

Yeah, that’s a really sharp (and kinda depressing) distinction. Jobs might stick around because healthcare is so inherently human, patients need empathy, nuance, quick judgment that AI can’t fully replicate yet but the wage pressure feels almost inevitable.

Oracle's turned AI loose on Powerchart, so someone sees $avings in the future.

Considering how there's been a push to cut transcription and such costs for YEARS, they'll looking to cut more.

Yeah, the savings pun is spot-on. Healthcare’s been trying to kill transcription costs for as long as I can remember; first it was templates, then voice recognition that kinda worked, now full-on ambient AI listening in the exam room and spitting out notes. Oracle finally flipping the switch on that in PowerChart is just the latest move in a very long game.
You’re right, though: once the tech proves it can handle most of the routine documentation reliably, the pressure to squeeze even harder is going to ramp up. Hospitals and health systems are already running on razor-thin margins in a lot of places, so any credible path to cutting labor costs in clinical documentation is going to get chased aggressively. Transcriptionists, scribes, even some of the lower-complexity coding roles, those are all in the crosshairs longer-term.

It’s an interesting topic! AI in healthcare could create new roles that require tech savvy skills, potentially leading to higher pay. However, it might also automate some tasks, putting pressure on wages. Balancing these changes will be key!

Totally, it’s the classic double-edged sword with AI in healthcare. You’re spot on. there will absolutely be new roles popping up that pay better: people who can train, fine-tune, and audit these AI documentation tools, or hybrid clinical/tech positions like “AI clinical workflow specialists” who bridge the gap between docs and the tech. Those could command solid salaries because they’ll need both domain knowledge and comfort with the systems.
But yeah, the flip side is real pressure on the more routine jobs; transcriptionists, scribes, even some mid-level admin roles in revenue cycle or coding. Once the AI gets reliable enough (and it’s getting scary-good fast), organizations are going to lean hard into “efficiency” to justify trimming staff or freezing wages in those areas.
The balancing part is going to come down to regulation, physician buy-in, and honestly how well the tech handles edge cases without creating liability nightmares. I’m optimistic that the net effect will be more high-value work for humans, but the transition could be rough for a lot of people.Are you in healthcare yourself, or just watching this space closely?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
