What are the scope of the use of artificial intelligence in the clinical and economic management of a health system? where resources are limited; taking into account a context where the government assigns monetary bonuses for private entities to administer this money and thereby guarantee the total demand for health services of a given population.
It depends on the data that is available for the resources and health system.
Scenario A
Though it does not directly fall under Artificial Intelligence, Hypergraph Theory can play a part in such objective. Modeling each medical institution (hospital, clinics etc.) as a node, and the edges as the relative differences in attributes (distance, common resource needs etc) and using Shortest Path algorithms and Minimum Spanning Trees can optimize such problems.
Scenario B
Given attributes of medical institutions (resource needs, privatized/non privatized etc.), unsupervised machine learning algorithms can be used for clustering similar institutions together to ensure consistent delivery of resources. For details on unsupervised learning please see following article

Scenario C
Once clustered according to Scenario B, the labeled data can be used for supervised classification of new medical institutions added to database. For details on supervised classification please see following article

Many other Scenarios can be thought of and hypothesized, but in reality it depends on exact objective and available data.
Um, I am a nursing decision scientist and am developing such a program of study. I carefully think that the underlying theory for the artificial intelligence algorithm should be effective in a management of resources in a health system, e.g.,

That is to say, a fundamental backbone research evidence used for the AI algorithm matters.
Privacy on personal health or ab-normal condition is VERY important... with our current BIG enterprise selling personal 'click-baits', this area is full of 'leaks'. Also, lack of inter-operative language / emotional well beings are getting ignored, over long term CAN cause health issues, yes?
