Hospitals face major challenges in AI adoption due to fragmented and poor-quality healthcare data rather than the AI algorithms themselves. Efforts in interoperability and data standardisation, such as Indonesia's SATUSEHAT initiative, are crucial to unlocking scalable AI benefits in clinical and operational hospital workflows.
