Advancing Innovation: Embracing AI’s Role in Patient Safety.
The journey to zero-harm care must leverage new technologies in the service of patient safety. Artificial intelligence stands poised to bring significant change to health care –the ability to diagnose conditions earlier, to bridge language barriers, to revolutionize telehealth and discharge experiences, and more. It also raises equity and ethics questions.
With great potential comes great responsibility.
Join us as we explore the possibilities and challenges California hospitals face in deploying artificial intelligence. Hear from thought leaders and practitioners on the cutting edge how AI is already at work in health care, and where some of the greatest opportunities lie.
The information is critical, the location stunning, and the chance to connect with peers is not to be missed.
