For the better part of a decade, artificial intelligence in healthcare has played a supporting role. It flagged anomalies on a scan, drafted a discharge summary, suggested a billing code, nudged a clinician toward a guideline. Useful, but fundamentally passive, a smarter tool waiting for a human to act. That era is closing. A new generation of agentic systems is beginning to do something categorically different: perceive a clinical situation, reason about it, decide on a course of action, and execute it across connected systems with minimal human prompting. The hospital is no longer just being assisted by AI. It is beginning to be operated, in part, by it.
