With nearly 8 million incidents of medical harm each year and one in four hospitalizations resulting in an adverse event, patient safety remains among the greatest challenges facing healthcare. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) offers a part of a solution. AI can play a role in mitigating risks and improving healthcare outcomes to work toward safer, more equitable care delivery. By implementing predictive and generative AI technology, health systems can support clinical decision-making, uncover the underlying drivers of medical harm and automate tasks to relieve some of the administrative burden on clinicians. Join Tim McDonald, MD, JD, and Raj Ratwani, PhD, MPH, where they will discuss how AI can improve patient safety and alleviate healthcare worker emotional exhaustion, as well as the limitations of current technology.

?? The importance of philanthropy in healthcare continues to rise as organizations face challenges in securing adequate dollars to help them reinvest in their mission. The Association for Healthcare Philanthropy’s 2023 Report on Giving for FY2022 showed that charitable giving provides a return on investment of $4.96 for each dollar invested in fund development—a rate of return that far exceeds what’s possible from any clinical service line. As a result, philanthropy has become essential to providing capital and operational dollars to achieve a healthcare organization’s potential. However, most CEOs today face the untenable position of needing to provide time and attention to philanthropy when it is not formally recognized as an organizational priority. As the board considers the potential of philanthropy as a revenue source to sustain the mission and strengthen strategy, it’s time to formalize the CEO’s role in advancing development.
