A Covista analysis estimates AI could close 37% of the projected healthcare workforce gap by 2040 without replacing a single worker.
The gains come largely from automating administrative work — documentation, referrals, medication lists, billing and other admin tasks — rather than substituting clinical staff, positioning AI as a way to relieve administrative burden instead of displacing healthcare professionals.
