At the recent HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition in Orlando, I delivered a talk focused on protecting against some of the pitfalls of artificial intelligence in healthcare.

The objective was to encourage healthcare professionals to think deeply about the realities of AI transformation, while providing them with real-world examples of how to proceed safely and effectively. My goal was for everyone in the audience to join me in cutting through the hype to focus on a mature understanding of how to build this exciting future.

Thankfully, my message was well received. The attendees appreciated the potential that emerges when we move beyond gimmicks and the fear of missing out. It represents a higher level of leadership, where thoughtful individuals collaborate across various functions to establish clear and actionable goals for improving outcomes.

The appetite for this post-hype approach to AI was so substantial that I felt compelled to write a brief summary of my talk and share it widely with the readers of Healthcare IT News.

I’ll briefly touch on AI time bombs that have already exploded, provide ten tips to help you avoid this issue and share two examples of organizations with which I’m working that are implementing AI correctly.
