Unleashing AI’s Potential in Healthcare: Strategies for the Future

As strategists and planners, we often read and hear about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to affect healthcare. As we put our strategic plans together, which AI initiatives should we recommend?

• At the 2025 NESHS Spring Conference, learn where the current and future opportunities are in using AI and how it can help administrators and clinicians to create more precise and effective solutions faster than before.
• Hear from speakers about where organizations are deploying AI in the workplace.
• What are the obstacles and risks to implementing AI, and how to overcome them to achieve the benefits, drive lower costs, reduce administrative burdens, improve care, and accelerate change.
• Walk away from the conference with more knowledge about AI, what the trends are, and how it is being used, where it will be used, and what is needed to evaluate AI tools for your use in developing strategy.
