ABSTRACT: Implementation and adoption of innovation, in most cases, initially confronts resistance and skepticism from end-users. For medical innovations, the impediments are redoubled with concerns about patient safety, regulation, and the therapeutic benefits. This article examines the potential hindrances by hospitals and physicians in embracing potentially transformative technologies, such as predictive artificial intelligence for cancer. The analysis formulates specific recommendations that can ease implementation against the countercurrents to innovation. The article concludes with an example of an effective strategy of a hospital’s capable integration of AI into the system with the collaboration of an information technology company.
