The organizations HealthFORCE, the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA), and West Health published a joint report on October 20, 2025, titled "Aging Well with AI: Transforming Care Delivery." The document calls on federal and state US authorities to urgently modernize existing laws, regulations, and, critically, payment models for healthcare services. The authors argue that current policies hinder the full potential of AI in elderly care. Technologies are already poised to automate documentation, improve care coordination among different specialists, and assist in staff training. However, without legislative changes and adequate reimbursement models, healthcare providers cannot adopt these innovations at scale. The report emphasizes that AI should be an assistant, not a replacement for healthcare workers, but this requires the right regulatory environment.
