AI-Driven Automation in Healthcare: Business Operations, Diagnostics, and EHR Workflows
AI is moving beyond isolated tools to become a consultant-level partner in both clinical care and healthcare operations. In this panel, leaders from ophthalmology and major health systems will share how they are using AI to:
• Automate business-side workflows and non clinical operations
• Support clinical diagnosis, especially in cataract care and diagnostic imaging
• Integrate ambient listening and EHR automation into everyday practice
The discussion will highlight real examples, lessons learned, and practical guidance for organizations looking to safely and effectively adopt AI-powered automation
