The use of AI and machine learning technologies is rapidly increasing in healthcare, with many leaders recognizing their potential as a key element in their innovation and growth strategies. Through the use of AI, innovation and digital strategy leaders are optimizing healthcare operations by reducing manual processes and digitizing workflows, thereby enabling their organizations to save significant time and preserve scarce resources. This transformative technology is poised to play a crucial role in ensuring the success of healthcare systems in the emerging “Age of AI.”
In this session, leaders from Intermountain Health and Stony Brook Medicine share the innovations they have undertaken in their organization to discover the most powerful ways to deploy AI to improve healthcare operations and empower the workforce. With extensive history as healthcare technology innovators, Elizabeth Popwell MPA, FACHE, PMP (Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer Stony Brook Medicine) and Craig Richardville, MBA, CHCIO (Chief Digital and Information) draw on their insights from their experiences helping healthcare evolve from an industry that ran on technology to one that embraced and expanded it. LeanTaaS’ Ashley Walsh, VP of Client Services for iQueue for Operating Rooms, leads the conversation on ongoing progress with healthcare AI.
Learn what characteristics make healthcare leaders effective collaborators with technology partners, as well as technology innovators in their own right, and the immediate value of AI in practice for healthcare organizations.

Take the first step towards unlocking capacity, generating ROI, and increasing patient access.
If you work in the healthcare industry, or even if you’re just an interested observer, you don’t need a book to tell you that the financial pressure is on as never before. A perfect storm of circumstances is swirling together, one that will make survivability, not to mention profitability, a greater challenge for healthcare companies than we’ve seen in the modern era.
As with banks, retailers, and airlines, which had to rapidly enhance their brick-and-mortar footprints with robust online business models—it is the early movers eager to gain new efficiencies that will thrive and gain market share. The slow-to-move and the inefficient will end up being consolidated into larger health systems seeking to expand their geographical footprints.
Let’s look at just a few of the looming challenges healthcare must meet head-on.
An aging population
By the year 2030, the number of adults sixty-five years of age or older will exceed the number of children eighteen years or younger in the United States. We are living longer than our parents did. Positive news for sure, but problematic for several reasons.
The older we get, the more medical help we need. Older people have more chronic diseases. By 2025, nearly 50 percent of the population will suffer from one or more chronic diseases that will require ongoing medical intervention. This combination of an aging population and an increase in chronic diseases will create a ballooning demand for healthcare services.
