Event Date: 4/14/2025 - 4/15/2025
Event Overview
4/14/2025 - 4/15/2025
Irving, Texas
This meeting is limited to Health Plan Alliance members participating in the 2025 AI Accelerator and invited guests.
In today’s fast-paced healthcare landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing how organizations operate, enhancing patient care, and improving overall efficiency. As AI technologies continue to evolve, healthcare providers face an opportunity to streamline processes, reduce costs, and save valuable time, all while improving patient outcomes. However, integrating AI effectively into healthcare settings comes with its own set of challenges—from establishing clear and ethical governance standards to selecting and integrating the right solutions into existing workflows.
Our Opening Symposium maps the course for a year-long drive to unlock the power and potential of AI in all facets of member organizations. Participants will come away from this event with new insights into the role AI can play in their organizations.
This day-long program is filled with opportunities to learn from experts, collaborate with peers, and set a course to accelerate your AI strategy and implementation. Talks by respected thought leaders and practitioners will spark conversations about the applications, pitfalls, and promise of AI in healthcare. Working sessions will lay the foundation for smart strategy and thoughtful implementation. Peer collaboration and networking forge the relationships and knowledge-sharing that accelerate learning and deliver successful outcomes.
The session will cover strategies for successfully integrating AI into healthcare organizations, overcoming common challenges, and preparing their organization to leveraging AI to the fullest. Most of all, this symposium will lay the foundation for the work ahead, readying participants to build and execute an AI strategy that delivers excellence in all aspects of healthcare delivery and improved patient outcomes.
