healthsystemCIO – Strategies for Hospital IT Leaders

The race is on for healthcare organizations to deploy AI agents that increase productivity and cut costs. But with a rapidly evolving market, a wide range of options—from building in-house to buying a vendor solution to partnering with a middleware OEM—and a saturation of similar products, it can be difficult for health systems to cut through the noise. This webinar will help you navigate the agentic AI landscape. We’ll explore the pros and cons of the three main approaches: build, buy, or partner. We'll also cover best practices for selecting an agentic AI partner (new or existing vendor) and discuss hidden risks in this rapidly evolving space. Finally, we'll provide guidance on how to stay at the forefront of the agentic AI wave and capitalize on its immense potential.

AI is being infused into the healthcare ecosystem from 1,000 directions at 100 miles per hour. At least, that’s what it feels like to many tasked with ensuring those injections are done with proper guardrails in place. And while the risks of drift, hallucinations, and bias are at least well appreciated (if not mastered), those related to compliance and cybersecurity need to be more deeply considered and brought—via governance—into the right discussions at the right time. In this timely webinar, we’ll speak with cyber leaders focused on acting as true partners to their operational colleagues—fostering the rollout of the AI tools everyone wants, while making sure it’s done the right way.

Healthcare IT executives are deploying technologies such as generative AI to improve front-end patient access, enable ambient clinical documentation, and streamline back-office tasks like claims submission. Yet the mid-revenue cycle often receives less attention. This broad domain—including clinical documentation integrity and physician query management, medical coding and clinical validation, and charge capture and revenue integrity—still relies on entrenched workflows in many organizations. Given the gap between current practice and what modern tools can deliver, the mid-revenue cycle is a prime target for efforts to reduce costs and capture revenue. In this webinar, we’ll speak with leaders who are looking to bring today’s best technology to these processes.   Source: Exploring IT Optimization Opportunities in the Mid-Revenue Cycle on healthsystemcio.com - Interviews & Webinars with Health System IT Leaders
