Abstract
<jats:p>Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping hospital administration, workforce management, and operational efficiency by enabling intelligent automation, predictive insights, and data-driven decision-making. This chapter explores the integration of AI technologies including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning within key hospital operational domains such as administrative workflows, staff scheduling, resource allocation, and performance optimization. It highlights how AI enhances patient flow, reduces delays, improves asset management, and supports real-time operational intelligence. The chapter also discusses challenges related to data privacy, bias, system interoperability, governance, and workforce acceptance. Finally, emerging trends and future research directions, including digital twins, federated learning, and explainable AI, are explored to guide the development of resilient and efficient healthcare operations.</jats:p>
