Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize healthcare, bringing new technologies and platforms that enhance healthcare operations and patient care. While providing important benefits, the use of AI brings ethical and legal considerations into focus. Medical ethics, responsibility to the patient, and ensuring the confidentiality and security of personal information are key concerns in the use of AI tools and AI-driven decision-making. This panel will explore the evolving landscape of AI in healthcare, addressing both its transformative potential and the regulatory risks it presents. Join Dr. Tina Shah, Former Chief Clinical Officer of Abridge AI Inc. and a practicing Pulmonary and Critical Care Physician, alongside leading experts in AI and cybersecurity, as they discuss:
- Innovations and Efficiencies: Evolving AI technologies and platforms and the role of AI in creating operational efficiencies and enhancing patient care.

- Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Considerations: Confidentiality and cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities in AI-driven medical technologies and platforms.
- Managing AI In Your Organization: Considerations for boards and management in overseeing use of AI technologies and platforms.
This engaging discussion will provide valuable insights for policymakers, healthcare professionals and management, and technology leaders navigating the murky waters of emerging AI technologies and platforms in healthcare.
As we approach 2025, the landscape of medical practice continues to evolve, with an increasing emphasis on operational efficiency, compliance, and patient outcomes. This breakout panel will explore the future of the physician’s practice, focusing on governance structures, emerging disciplinary challenges, payor practice audits, and the importance of robust financial controls.
Experts in healthcare management, legal compliance, and medical practice finance will discuss:
- Governance in the Modern Practice: Understanding the shifting governance models and how physicians can navigate decision-making processes in both independent and group practices.
- Disciplinary Issues: Managing the growing complexities of physician discipline, including legal ramifications, peer reviews, and handling misconduct in the digital age.
- Payor Practice Audits: A deep dive into how payor audits are evolving, how to prepare for and navigate these audits, and how they can impact reimbursement and practice operations.
- Financial Controls: The necessity of proper financial oversight and controls in the practice to ensure sustainability, safeguard against fraud, and ensure compliance with changing regulations.
This breakout session will offer practical insights into how physicians can future-proof their practices by integrating strong governance, compliance strategies, and sound financial management, while maintaining a focus on patient care.
