Info: Healthcare organizations are experiencing an unprecedented rise in clinical complexity, documentation burden, and operational pressures that have long outpaced manual workflows and retrospective analytics. As clinical volumes grow and staffing
shortages persist, AI and Machine Learning (ML) have moved from exploratory concepts to essential tools that improve care delivery, clinician experience, and financial performance. This session presents a forward-looking framework for the next generation of clinical AI—systems that autonomously interpret documentation,
anticipate patient behavior, and forecast quality performance in real time. Attendees will learn how these innovations work together to create a new intelligence layer—that prioritizes reliability, transparency, and safety—to support clinical decisions and reduce administrative burden.

Info: Discover how one organization successfully implemented ambient listening technology for ambulatory clinicians through an innovative, multipronged training and sustainment strategy. This session highlights a multimodal approach, including virtual live events,
interactive web-based modules, and personalized outreach, that led to a sustained 70% adoption rate. Attendees will follow the journey from initial implementation to long-term engagement, showcasing how tailored support and strategic sustainment can transform clinical workflows and elevate care delivery.

Info: This session presents Atlantic Health enterprise AI Governance framework, structured as a four-pillar operational model: policy and best practices, structured AI technology oversight, AI literacy and education, and strategic portfolio management. Attendees will
learn how the health system managed risks, standardized oversight, and measured value across clinical and operational AI initiatives, providing actionable strategies to move from decentralized pilots to scalable governance while supporting innovation.

Info: Join us for a riveting and timely panel with IT Leaders from New Jersey's innovative healthcare organizations!

Info: This presentation outlines Virtua’s effort to create a simplified, consistent telephony experience that meets rising patient demand and expectations through the incorporation of conversational AI. 1. Demonstrate how conversational AI can transform patient access, streamline operational flow, and strengthen network integrity across the health system. 2. Show how conversational AI empowers care teams by reducing administrative burden, improving workflow efficiency, and enabling staff to operate at the top of their skillset.
3. Define the roadmap, governance, and organizational shifts required to successfully design and scale conversational AI implementation.

Info: Family Health Initiatives presents a real-world, New Jersey–based case study on how community health organizations align digital health strategy, compliance requirements, and maternal care delivery. Using the CNJ Link platform as the core of an integrated data ecosystem supporting a network of community-based maternal and child health programs, the presentation focuses on how digital referral and navigation workflows improve coordination across collaborative community-based programs, prevent referral loss, and support reporting and accountability. Attendees will learn practical strategies for managing high referral volumes, balancing digital health adoption with resource capacity, and using operational data to inform outreach and program planning. The session highlights lessons learned and actionable insights for organizations implementing technology-enabled, community-based maternal health initiatives in real-world environments.
