Where Clinicians Shape the Future of Care

HLTH USA is one of the only events where nurses, physicians, and clinical leaders sit alongside the technology builders, policymakers, and health system executives making decisions that affect the bedside. Not as an audience, but as co-designers, advocates, and leaders of the transformation redefining their profession.

Why Nurses & Physicians Attend

To be in the room where AI decisions that affect clinicians get made

HLTH USA puts clinical leaders in direct conversation with the technology companies, health system executives, and policymakers deciding how AI gets deployed in care settings. For clinicians, being at HLTH isn't passive, it's how the clinical voice stays embedded in decisions that would otherwise happen without it.

To connect with peers navigating the same step change

Nurses, physicians, NPs, PAs, and clinical executives from health systems across the country are all at HLTH USA. Sharing what's working, what isn't, and what they wish leadership understood. The candid peer conversations that happen here are hard to replicate anywhere else.

To stay ahead of what's coming to their workflows

From ambient documentation and agentic AI to care model redesign and workforce strategy, the HLTH USA agenda surfaces what's actually happening in production environments, not just what's being piloted. Clinical leaders leave with a sharper read on what's worth adopting and what's still hype.

To build leadership, entrepreneurship, and career pathways

HLTH USA is where clinician-founders, clinical executives, and frontline innovators find mentors, investors, and collaborators in a setting built specifically for the intersection of clinical practice and innovation.

Past Sessions

Clinicians @ HLTH Series: Physicians of the Future — The Evolving Doctor Persona in an Era of Innovation

Amid constant change, lightning-paced innovation, and increasing workforce shortages and physician burnout, it's unclear to what extent the role of the doctor will change in 5 years, let alone 10–20. This CME-eligible session covered the forces pushing the evolution of what a physician looks like — and what it takes to have a fulfilling career both professionally and financially in this environment. In partnership with Physician Side Gigs. Watch Now

Less Clicking, More Caring: Ambient AI and the New Era of Documentation

Clinicians are calling it their favorite new coworker. This session explored how ambient AI is taking on the documentation grind so nurses and physicians can focus on patient care — streamlining workflows, supporting decision-making, and recovering lost revenue with real-time coding. Speakers dug into how to build clinician trust, win executive buy-in, and navigate privacy concerns. Speakers from Ardent Health, UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Kaiser Permanente, moderated by Nurse Rosa's Insights podcast. Watch Now

Thoughtful Change Management: The Catalyst for Tech-Enabled Nursing Practices

Poorly executed AI rollouts risk fueling burnout, while thoughtful change management ensures innovation empowers rather than overwhelms. This session explored how nurses can lead, not just absorb AI adoption, sharing strategies to reduce resistance, build trust, and advocate for stronger change management from within. Featuring speakers from GW University Hospital, the American Nurses Association, Cedars-Sinai, and Mercy. Watch Now
