For the 33rd episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we sat down with Steve Hess, CIO at UCHealth. In this episode we dive into the topic of healthcare AI. Hess shares whether he thinks AI is just a nice to have or whether it’s become a must have in healthcare. Plus, he shares some practical insights into how healthcare organizations should be thinking about and embracing AI and machine learning. He also shares some of the benefits of having an enterprise EHR where most of the data is stored and discusses their process for working with AI partners like their decision to work with LeanTaaS and why that was a good fit for their organization. Finally, he shares what skills he thinks a CIO should be developing to be a leader in this new AI powered healthcare world.
Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss on this episode:
- What’s the future of AI and ML in healthcare look like and what will it impact? Is it a nice to have or a must have?
- What should we be embracing now to make it happen?
- Do we have the data available to benefit from AI? Is it stuck in silos?
- How much do you feel AI should be an internal effort versus working with partners? How do you balance that?
- What skills should a CIO be developing to lead this new AI powered frontier?
Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the CIO Podcast by Healthcare IT Today.
