As hospitals move from AI experimentation to enterprise deployment, many are discovering that fragmented, poorly governed data – not model performance – is the biggest obstacle standing between pilots and measurable results.

To expand access for medically complex children, health systems need to rethink the medical home through continuous virtual and in-home care rather than simply adding providers or clinics, says Dr. Patricia Hayes of Imagine Pediatrics.

As artificial intelligence becomes a routine part of care delivery, health systems are finding that success depends less on deploying new models than on governing existing ones.

As generative AI becomes embedded across healthcare, chief information officers are discovering the challenge no longer is deploying AI, it's ensuring it remains accurate, transparent and accountable once it enters clinical practice.

Provider organizations that manage their data with the same rigor as financial assets will be better prepared for trustworthy AI, stronger decisions and safer care, says SE Health Chief Digital Officer Robert Slepin.

Healthcare leaders have widely varying views on the prospect of autonomous clinical decision making. But they agree the future of artificial intelligence in medicine depends less on model performance than on accountability and clinician trust.

A behavioral health practice shows how ambient documentation can reduce administrative work while still maintaining clinician oversight.

Endeavor Health Chief Information Officer Deb Anderson says lasting innovation requires infrastructure, governance and organizational agility – with technologies working holistically, not individually – before new IT investments can deliver value.

Five years after COVID-19, virtual care is becoming inseparable from broader digital health infrastructure, challenging CIOs to rethink telehealth as a standalone program.

It's arguably the healthcare space's most demanding test bed, where technology must immediately reduce burden, earn clinicians' trust and improve decisions within existing workflows. PointClickCare CEO Dave Wessinger offers perspective.
