About the executive briefing
Healthcare leaders are under pressure to deploy AI that improves patient access, reduces administrative burden, and accelerates revenue — all without compromising compliance. But the gap between a proof of concept and enterprise scale is where most initiatives stall.
In this 45-minute executive briefing, Fred Azar, AI Specialist at Amazon Web Services, will share practical strategies drawn from his work with health systems across the U.S. — including how to build a modern data foundation for AI, which use cases are delivering measurable ROI today, and how to get from pilot to production faster using tools like Amazon Bedrock.
Then, Vishal Grover, Head of Digital Innovation at Atlantic Health System, will share how his team is putting AI to work — from an AI-powered document solution to an intelligent patient experience platform — and what is on their roadmap next.
The session will close with 10 to 20 minutes of Q&A with both AWS and Atlantic to ensure all your questions get answered.
