The Winning Edge Digs Into Ambient AI Adoption

What's the best way to ensure an ambient AI tool fits into the clinical workflow and produces the right ROI?

Ambient AI is all the rage these days, with health systems and hospitals testing out new tools and launching pilots aimed at quickly integrating the technology into their clinical workflows.

But like any other innovative idea, healthcare leaders can't expect to just turn it on and watch it transform clinical care. They need to map out exactly how AI will affect the workflows of their doctors, nurses and other staff, identifying the risks and benefits and determining how to collect and measure the right metrics.

In this week's HealthLeaders Winning Edge webinar, sponsored by Microsoft, executives from two top health systems will discuss how they're implementing ambient AI in their organizations, negotiating the challenges and identifying a clear ROI for executive and clinical buy-in.

Sara Vaezy, chief transformation officer at Providence, and Yaron Elad, MD, FACC, chief medical informatics officer at Cedars-Sinai, will be joined by Jared Pelo, MD, FACEP, chief medical information officer for Microsoft's Health & Life Sciences Division, for a discussion on one of the hottest topics in healthcare. They'll look beyond the hype and dig into the challenges of change management, scalability and ROI.

And while so many hospitals are testing the technology and reporting early successes in reducing administrative stress and improving workflows, the panel will dig into how these tools are positioned for sustainability and long-term value. How can financial and clinical ROI be factored beyond the initial year or two of use? And where else can this technology be deployed across the enterprise?

Tuesday's panel, The Winning Edge for Clinical Implementation, is part of AI Technology Week, a weeklong examination of the role technology plays in the healthcare community.
