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?

CIOs, CMIOs, chief data and analytics officers, and digital transformation leaders. Registration eligibility is verified for this executive-level program.

The program
Three sessions. One executive-level learning experience.
Developed with CHIME and presented by up to eight CHIME faculty, the program blends an industry keynote, moderated peer discussion, and an executive fireside chat.
01
Industry Thought Leadership
Brave New World
Healthcare’s next era will demand more than new technology — this opening discussion explores the leadership mindset required to thrive in it, and one vision of how radically the care model could transform in the very near future.
Malissa Miot, VP, Membership, CHIME, with Jon L. Manis, SVP & CIO, CHRISTUS Health
02
Moderated Discussion
Governing AI in Healthcare: The Leadership Imperative
AI is moving from experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption, and this moderated panel touches on what it takes to scale it responsibly — the governance, infrastructure, workforce readiness, and operational models that turn AI potential into measurable impact.
Malissa Miot, VP, Membership, CHIME, facilitating with Kimberly Chaundy, MBA, Associate VP, Geisinger and Scott Simeone, MHA, SVP and CIO, Tufts Medicine
03
Executive Fireside Chat
Moving Beyond AI Pilots: What It Takes to Scale
An AI pilot that works is where the hard part begins. This fireside chat goes deep on the ‘how’ of scaling: assessing readiness, choosing which use cases deserve the investment, and building the governance, trust, and data foundations that turn promise into enterprise value.
Malissa Miot, VP, Membership, CHIME, with K Marhefka, DHA, RHIA, Deputy Chief Information Officer, RWJBarnabas Health
