What Healthcare Leaders Need Before Implementing AI | Dr. Melinda Kidder & Bill Slovin

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing healthcare, but successful AI adoption requires much more than choosing the right technology.

In this episode of The Beat's AI at ViVE series, Sandy Vance speaks with Dr. Melinda S. Kidder, DHA, MSN, RN, CENP, Chief Nursing Officer, Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Bill Slovin, Chief Technology Officer at Brandon Systems, about what healthcare organizations need to get right before AI can truly deliver value.

Their conversation explores some of the biggest challenges facing healthcare AI adoption, including fragmented data, interoperability, data quality, alert fatigue, clinician buy-in, patient safety, and the importance of understanding the problem before selecting an AI solution. Dr. Kidder and Slovin also dive into how healthcare leaders can evaluate AI and analytics vendors, why frontline clinicians need to be part of technology decisions, and how interoperability can help unlock more effective AI-powered care.
