Why this conversation
AI is moving faster than most governance models. Leadership is what closes the gap.
Your organization isn’t short on AI ambition. It’s short on the trusted data, identity, and connected systems that let AI move from pilot to enterprise practice, and the governance to do it responsibly.
This executive session brings CHIME faculty and your peers together to examine how leading health systems are governing AI and digital transformation, and what separates the organizations that succeed from those that struggle.
What will separate healthcare organizations that successfully govern AI and digital transformation from those that struggle?
