TTCP CEO Dawn Owens kicked off the Convene Conference at the University of Minnesota - Carlson School of Management with a keynote exploring the potential AI may hold for addressing some of healthcare’s most complex challenges.   Convene brings together voices from across the healthcare ecosystem with a common vision of driving change to deliver equitable care to all individuals, effectively addressing healthcare cost, access, safety and equity. This year’s theme, Building the Vision for SmartTech for Health, highlighted the advancements of AI, machine learning, and data science in healthcare.   During her keynote address, Ms. Owens spoke about AI’s potential to finally reduce the amount of time clinicians spend on administrative tasks and increase their ability to focus on patient care, helping to alleviate the resource and capacity constraints in healthcare today. Ms. Owens noted that even with all the promise of AI, the system will be well served by a measured approach to implementation and adoption. Gaining the critical insights and buy-in from key stakeholders will pave the way to meaningful levels of adoption and impact that can truly change our healthcare system for the better. #healthcare #innovation #AI #datascience
