Description
As healthcare organizations move from pilots to enterprise deployment, the challenge is no longer whether AI works, but how leaders integrate it into workflows, workforce models, and operating structures in ways that create sustainable value. This executive-level discussion brings together health system leaders who are translating AI investments into measurable operational, financial, and clinical outcomes. Panelists will share best practices, lessons learned, and candid insights on what they chose to fund, what they scaled, what they stopped, and the organizational changes required to move beyond experimentation. The conversation will explore real-world approaches to improving productivity, expanding capacity, enhancing patient access, and driving financial performance, while addressing the governance, change management, and economic realities of scaling AI across the enterprise. Attendees will leave with practical strategies, peer-tested insights, and a clearer understanding of how leading organizations are turning AI initiatives into measurable business value.
