The Nashville, Tenn.-based 182-hospital system, which reported net income of $1.19 billion for the second quarter, has a “growing digital agenda,” with AI firmly at the center of what Mr. Hazen called the company’s “transformation and innovation” project.

“Within transformation and innovation where we want to improve care processes and efficiency, AI will play a large part in that,” he said. “It’s way early but we are excited what this can yield for us. We view it as a positive and potential for us in a very significant way.”
