Top Story: Technology & AI Transformation Assembly: What Is Our CEO Most Looking Forward to Discussing With You?
As the Founder and CEO of Steer Health, I’m excited about my attendance at the Healthcare Technology & AI Transformation Assembly this year in New Orleans from June 25th to 26th! It’s a great opportunity to network with industry leaders in healthcare IT, digital healthcare, business transformation, the patient community, and other health startups.
The Millennium Alliance is a prominent advisory firm in technology and business education, dedicated to driving the digital transformation of enterprises. Their executive education platform, senior-level Assemblies, exclusive research collaborations with Ivy League institutions, and diverse digital properties provide attendees like me with practical learning and engagement opportunities that deliver real-world impact.
And, did you know that 76% of the Fortune 100 attend this event? This year, I particularly look forward to discussing AI digital transformation, especially strengthening the patient-provider relationship with AI.
Here are a few topics I’m most eager to discuss with you.
What is the Future of Digital Transformation in Healthcare?
Consumers expect the simplicity and convenience of online and on-demand access in every sector. And nowadays, patients are increasingly demanding the same from their healthcare providers.
Digital transformation is a way to become more consumer-friendly while simultaneously changing your operations, culture, and use of technology.
Creating this convenient access is guided by a model of how patients interact with your practice – the digital front door. By integrating the multiple touch points, from online research and on-demand consultations to after-hours appointment scheduling, virtual visits, and self-care, digital front doors enable smoother patient engagement and streamlined staff workflows.
Integrating the digital front door into your health system can help with many aspects, such as:
- Enhancing Patient Access: Facilitate easier appointment scheduling, access to medical records, and communication with healthcare providers.
- Improving Patient Engagement: Provide a seamless and user-friendly interface for patients to engage with their own care at every step, enhancing overall satisfaction.
- Efficiency in Operations: Streamline administrative processes like registration and billing to reduce paperwork and wait times.
- Cost Management: Reduce overhead costs associated with traditional administrative tasks and enhance resource allocation efficiency.
The digital front door is not just a single solution such as chatbot technology or online appointment scheduling that expands access to healthcare. A full digital front door is an approach that integrates as many tools and innovations as necessary to create complete and seamless digital interaction between patients and staff.
In this way, digital front doors not only improve patient satisfaction but also simplify workflows and reduce staff workload — and that’s exactly why every healthcare organization needs a digital front door to be ready for the future of digital transformation.
Strengthening the Patient-Provider Relationship With AI
AI has the ability to analyze patient data more effectively, identify trends, and predict patient needs accurately, ultimately saving time for doctors and enabling them to focus on delivering personalized care.
For example, AI, such as ambient intelligence, allows doctors to record conversations with patients and automatically turn them into clinical notes and summaries.
AI chatbots are a self-service technology that lives on your website 24/7, providing instant responses to patients without staff intervention. Through proactive and personalized prompts, they resolve common queries, help schedule appointments, or navigate directions—all seamlessly automated.
In relation to this subject, I’m excited to attend the workshop “Strengthening the Doctor-Patient Relationship with AI” on June 2nd. The workshop will discuss strategies for integrating AI-powered decision support solutions and patient engagement platforms into existing healthcare IT infrastructure.
In addition, I am also looking forward to the June 26th session titled “The When, the Where, and the How: Investing in AI Technologies” which will unpack key areas within healthcare operations and clinical workflows where AI technologies can deliver the most significant impact.
