The current study aimed to identify the readiness of administrative staff to adopt artificial intelligence in healthcare management at Al-Zulfi General Hospital, using a descriptive-analytical approach. The research sample consisted of the entire study population of (57) administrative staff members at Al-Zulfi General Hospital, selected through a comprehensive survey. A questionnaire prepared by the researcher was applied, consisting of four axes (knowledge and dealing with data, organizational support and professional environment, language barriers, and psychological attitudes skills) with a total of (28) statements. The results of the study showed that the readiness of the administrative staff to adopt artificial intelligence in the health administration at Al-Zulfi General Hospital was high for the axis of knowledge and dealing with data, and moderate for the axis of organizational support and professional environment, and the axis of language barriers, while the axis of psychological attitudes received a high score. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level between the average degree of readiness of administrative staff to adopt artificial intelligence in health management at Al-Zulfi General Hospital attributable to the variable (gender, age, job title, years of experience, academic qualification). Considering the study’s findings, a set of recommendations was presented, including Continuously encouraging administrative staff to adopt artificial intelligence in health management to improve medical work at all levels.
