The pilot era of healthcare AI is over. Vendors repriced everything around AI, fewer than 25% of clinicians say they were adequately trained on the tools already in their workflows, and investors stopped counting "AI" as a differentiator months ago. The question on every 2027 budget is no longer whether to invest. It's which investments deserve to survive.
This free field guide gives you three tools to answer that question in 30 days, without a consultant:
The Root Cause Test: four questions that separate tools solving real problems from tools mopping up after broken processes.
The Training Delta Audit: a one-page worksheet built on the KLAS finding that trained users score 90.8 on EHR experience while untrained users of the same tool score 50.4.
The ROI Scorecard: a keep, renegotiate, or kill framework where vendor deck projections don't count as evidence.
Written by April Wilson, author of RCM 2030: Strategy and Survival for Revenue Cycle Leaders. Seven pages, printable, ready for your next budget meeting.
