Healthcare Agentic AI Deployment Chasm™ (HADC) — Axis Intelligence Research Q3 2026
43pts HADC™
61% of health execs are building or budgeting agentic AI. Only 18% have reached production scale. That 43-point gap is the HADC™ — the defining structural gap in healthcare AI in 2026. Smaller than the 70-pt cross-industry ADGI because healthcare organizations are more intentional when they commit. Larger governance and data infrastructure constraints, not technology, hold the sector back.

HADC™ (Healthcare Agentic AI Deployment Chasm) = Intent rate (61%, Deloitte Sept 2025 n=100) − Production rate (18%, MarketsandMarkets Q1 2026). Both surveys use different sampling populations; interpret as directional.   AIR Time Recovery™: 60–90 min/day saved per clinician × $250/hr × 240 days = $50K–$75K/yr. Aggregated across 82K U.S. physicians using ambient tools = $4.1–6.2B/yr addressable.   All metrics: CC BY 4.0 — axis-intelligence.com
