The HIMSS25 AI In Healthcare Forum, happening in Las Vegas on March 3, 2025, spotlights AI tools enhancing patient care and operations, with focus on overcoming implementation challenges and strategies for ROI.

Industry Leaders Address AI Implementation Challenges

At the forefront of this groundbreaking forum, Dennis Chornenky, chief AI advisor for UC Davis Health, will tackle critical AI implementation challenges while exploring innovative approaches to ensure equitable healthcare delivery [1]. Microsoft’s chief medical officer, Dr. Thomas Osborne, is set to demonstrate how cutting-edge AI technologies are revolutionizing personalized patient care [1]. The forum brings together healthcare technology experts to address the pressing need for responsible AI deployment, with a particular focus on eliminating bias and establishing robust ethical frameworks [1].

Financial ROI and Organizational Buy-in

A crucial aspect of AI adoption in healthcare systems is securing financial support and demonstrating return on investment. Brian Paradis, founder and CEO of Csuite Growth Advisors, will present strategies for gaining CFO buy-in for AI investments [1]. This comes at a time when healthcare organizations are increasingly recognizing AI’s potential to streamline operations and improve patient outcomes [3]. The implementation of AI solutions like Amtelco’s Ellie® demonstrates how healthcare facilities are leveraging intelligent virtual agents to manage high call volumes and enhance operational efficiency [6].

Cybersecurity and Data Protection

The integration of AI in healthcare systems brings heightened attention to cybersecurity concerns. The Health Industry Cybersecurity Strategic Plan 2024-2029 outlines a comprehensive approach to moving healthcare cybersecurity from critical risk to greater stability [3]. Industry experts like Erik Decker from Intermountain Health will address proactive defense strategies against emerging cyber threats [3], while emphasizing the importance of maintaining patient data integrity in AI-driven systems [1].

Future Outlook and Industry Transformation

As healthcare organizations move toward modernization, experts predict that AI will become increasingly integral to routine operations. Robert Connely of Pega suggests that the modernization of legacy systems will catalyze AI adoption and help establish value-based care as an industry standard [7]. The forum will explore how these technological advancements are already showing promise, with innovative implementations like Ramsay Scribe and new AI-powered evaluation frameworks demonstrating practical applications in healthcare settings [5].
