Panelists at Cleveland Clinic’s inaugural AI Summit for Healthcare Professionals.
Healthcare leaders from around the country gathered at Cleveland Clinic’s inaugural AI Summit for Healthcare Professionals, diving into a dynamic array of topics shaping the future of medicine.
The event was held on July 11 at the InterContinental Cleveland Hotel in collaboration with the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME).
“Artificial Intelligence is set to transform the way we live, connect, and work. In addition, it will impact healthcare delivery, the way providers care for patients, and how we educate medical professionals of the future,” said Jame Abraham, M.D., chairman of the Department of Hematology & Medical Oncology at Cleveland Clinic. “While AI will not replace doctors and healthcare providers, healthcare professionals who do not understand AI risk being left behind.”
The educational event was designed for clinicians, advanced practice providers (APPs), nurses, administrators, trainees, and other healthcare professionals. More than 650 people participated in the summit – 450 in person and 200 online.
Highlights of the summit included:
“Cleveland Clinic has been at the forefront of leveraging AI to enhance patient care and caregiver experience as well as to help our organization be more efficient,” said Shahshahani, who became Cleveland Clinic’s first Chief AI Officer last year. “The technologies continue to improve and evolve quickly. Events like this can help clinicians understand how they can benefit from these advances now and what care may look like in the future.”
