Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trinity Health’s McDaniel Says Epic Considering New Implementation Protocol for Smaller Health Systems; 3rd-Party Pre-Bundling on the Table
Q: How does Epic's governance affect the AI initiatives and broader technology strategy?
We established a governance council for AI to vet opportunities for compliance and risk, ensuring any AI deployment does not jeopardize patient safety or regulatory requirements. This governance reduces risk while enabling opportunity.
Trinity Health’s McDaniel Says Epic Considering New Implementation Protocol for Smaller Health Systems; 3rd-Party Pre-Bundling on the Table
Q: Why did you decide to undertake the EHR and ERP transition simultaneously rather than sequentially?
We looked at the total number of touchpoints, the potential ROI, and the need to minimize rework. Doing them together allowed us to consolidate integrations and workflows, delivering earlier benefits and aligning the two systems more effectively.
HCA’s Hess Says Key to Supporting Clinicians and Patients is Staying Connected
Q: So how did you come to select that topic? What are your thoughts on that general topic, and some of the points you're going to be touching on in your talk would be great.
The topic was chosen because mobility has been core to our clinical efficiency for over a decade; smartphones already widely used by bedside nurses and staff, and the talk explores how to extend that mobile strategy thoughtfully within workflows to continue delivering value.
City of Hope’s Nazarian Says AI Governance Must Be Built Into the System
Q: What does good governance look like in practice for a multi-state health system?
It requires embedded accountability, real-time policy interpretation, and ongoing monitoring of drift and bias, with transparency and explainability as core requirements.
City of Hope’s Nazarian Says AI Governance Must Be Built Into the System
Q: You've had different types of customers in different industries; how does that influence your approach to AI governance in healthcare?
Nazarian emphasizes that governance must be designed into the system and tailored to healthcare realities, including clinical boundaries, data standards, and clinician workflows, rather than bolted on as an afterthought.
