Summary
Brad Reimer, Chief Information Officer at Sanford Health, recently spoke at AVIA's Digital Innovation Leaders Event about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, particularly the "Agentic AI" concept that merges automation, machine learning, and generative AI to tackle workforce shortages and improve patient care. He emphasized the necessity of assessing AI's appropriate applications, especially in rural settings, while noting that not all healthcare areas require advanced technologies. Reimer also pointed out that patients now expect digital services as standard, highlighting the need for healthcare organizations to involve frontline workers in the creation of digital strategies to avoid potential pitfalls. He advocated for a comprehensive digital approach across all departments, suggesting that every unit should have a digital champion to optimize resource use amidst financial and staffing challenges.
