In hospital management, we're shaping the future of healthcare. One exciting development is the use of #AI and data analytics to enhance patient flow, resource allocation, and diagnostic accuracy. These innovations not only improve patient care but also support our healthcare teams by reducing burnout and increasing efficiency. However, technology alone isn't enough. Effective leadership means fostering a culture of continuous improvement and empathy. By listening to our teams and empowering them, we can build a resilient healthcare system that exceeds community needs. What innovations have made a difference in your work? Let's share insights and drive our industry forward. #HospitalManagement #HealthcareInnovation #Leadership #AIinHealthcare #PatientCare

CAN PATIENTS AND PHYSICIANS TRUST #AI? Why? How? Our hypothesis is that #teamworkmakesthedreamwork. Without the right cross functional team and several levels of leadership; one can expect to fail. Interoperability nerds: That EPIC/Particle debacle is all about misalignment on governance, something that's a must-have in healthcare technology due to trust required between a number of constituents and complexity. I address that topic here: https://lnkd.in/gYtU9WXf Therefore on our panel, we'll be asking some challenging questions such as: 1) Should entrepreneurs or vendors without demonstrated management and leadership breadth even be in healthcare at all? In what context? 2) Where does operations fit into delivering patient experience and physician satisfaction? 3) How do several levels of leadership contribute to patient experience, physician experience, organizational success? and more! Thrilled to be partnering with these superstar role models on this panel at 1PM on May 30. Join us! at the preeminent AI in medicine conference, AIMed Representing the following essential leadership skillsets: 1) Industry consensus level leadership (ANSI and ACGME accredited working group process and governance leadership) 2) Board of directors leadership 3) Industry luminary who advises venture capital 4) Inter departmental leadership (cross functional working group management) 5) Care team/departmental i.e. emergency department leadership Register here: https://lnkd.in/gefgvQ2Y

In healthcare, errors and adverse events are seen as outcomes to avoid at all costs. But could some failures actually help us improve? The idea of “intelligent failure,” as described by Amy Edmondson in 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨, reframes trial and error as essential steps toward innovation and progress. However, the challenge is making sure these learning experiences do not compromise patient safety. Here are a few ways to incorporate intelligent failure in healthcare: • 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐛𝐨𝐱 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Use simulations or digital twins to test new interventions in a controlled, risk-free environment. • 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬: Gradual implementation in low-risk settings enables teams to test and learn step-by-step. • 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭-𝐈𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬: Fixed checkpoints provide an opportunity to reassess and course correct in real-time. Whether in care delivery or health tech, smart failure involves learning by testing and controlled iterations to innovate safely. Leaders help by creating space for teams to test new ideas and learn without fear of blame. The goal isn’t to take wild risks but to build a system where thoughtful experimentation leads to ongoing improvement. #healthcare #innovation #leadership #changemanagement #leadershipdevelopment

The Power of "What If?" in Healthcare 🚀 In healthcare, we often focus on solving today’s challenges—cutting costs, improving outcomes/quality, and navigating regulatory hurdles. But great leaders don’t stop there. They ask the bold question: What if? 🌟 What if we reimagined patient care by integrating AI and real-world evidence to predict outcomes before treatment begins? 🌟 What if we designed workflows prioritizing clinician well-being as much as patient safety? 🌟 What if we collaborated across disciplines to eliminate silos and unlock new possibilities for innovation? 🌟 What if we developed a solution without having the reimbursement or business model figured out? Some of the best leaders I’ve had the privilege of working with are those who inspire their teams to embrace curiosity, challenge assumptions, push through the status quo, and transform "What if?" into "Here’s how" or "Figure it out." In my own leadership journey, I’ve seen firsthand how empowering a team with this mindset fosters creativity, drives meaningful change, and delivers real value—for patients, providers, and health systems alike. So today, I challenge you: What’s your team’s "What if?" How can you inspire them to think differently and lead boldly into the future of healthcare? Together, we can create solutions that redefine the possible. 💡 #HealthcareLeadership #Innovation #PatientCare #WhatIf

Digital Transformation in Healthcare: Investing for a Resilient Future Healthcare systems globally are facing unprecedented challenges—from rising costs and clinical workforce shortages to heightened expectations for seamless patient experiences. A recent survey of health system executives highlights the critical role of digital and AI transformation in addressing these complexities. Despite 90% prioritizing digital innovation, 75% express concerns that current investments fall short. Key investment priorities include virtual health and digital front doors, seen as crucial for enhancing patient engagement and operational efficiency. However, there is hesitancy in adopting AI technologies, despite their potential to reduce costs and improve care delivery significantly. Budget constraints, legacy system complexities, and the shortage of tech talent emerge as primary barriers to comprehensive digital implementation. To overcome these challenges, promoting strategic partnerships and modernizing clinical workflows are essential steps. These efforts not only enable access to new capabilities and accelerate innovation but also ensure scalable and sustainable digital infrastructures. Successful digital transformation is not merely about deploying new technologies; it is about reshaping organizational culture and operational frameworks. By embracing agile methodologies and prioritizing patient-centric outcomes, healthcare systems can leverage technology to drive substantial improvements and create a more resilient healthcare ecosystem. #healthcaresystems #digitaltransformation #aiinhealthcare #patientengagement #operational #efficiency #virtualhealth #digitalfrontdoors #healthtech #budgetconstraints #legacysystems #techtalent #strategicpartnerships #clinicalworkflows #healthinnovation #hbr #decisionmaking #leadership #strategy #lifelonglearner #digitaltransformation #innovations
