AI Is the New UI, Automating What Gets in the Way of Care

About this Meeting

Across hospitals and health systems, care teams are surrounded by technology, yet still slowed by manual processes, disconnected operations, and non-clinical work that pulls attention away from patients. The next era of healthcare transformation is not about automating clinical decisions, it is about removing the friction that gets in the way of care.


This in-person session done in partnership with ServiceNow will explore how leading organizations are using AI to eliminate operational drag, improve coordination across departments, and create the conditions for care teams to operate at their best. Join us to discover a new operating model where AI becomes the interface, sensing issues, coordinating administrative tasks, and driving resolution across healthcare operations without adding complexity for frontline teams. This model doesn't automate care but automates what gets in the way of care and that shift is redefining how healthcare delivers on its mission.


This meeting is designed for healthcare leaders and innovators.

Expert Panel
As health systems confront rising operational complexity, many are beginning to ask a more fundamental question: what friction is quietly stealing time from care — and what would it take to remove it? Join Lisa Stephenson, CNIO at Cedars-Sinai; John McDaniel, CIO at Trinity Health; and Dr. Greg McDavitt, Physician Executive at ServiceNow, for an executive-level conversation exploring the hidden administrative burdens that weigh on clinicians and the systemic coordination gaps that slow care delivery. Together, they’ll examine how AI can evolve from a visible tool into an invisible coordinating layer — sensing issues, orchestrating resolution across disconnected systems, and returning minutes to the bedside. Designed for health system leaders, this session creates space for candid dialogue on what it truly takes — organizationally, technologically, and culturally — to move from reactive workflows to operational flow, and how reducing friction ultimately becomes a clinical strategy.
