Healthcare organizations are moving beyond isolated AI pilots to enterprise-wide agentic systems—autonomous agents that don't just suggest actions, but execute multi-step workflows across your clinical and operational environment. The critical difference between success and expensive failure? Orchestration competency at the leadership level. Why Orchestration Matters Now While generative AI creates content, agentic AI executes and manages tasks across systems—coordinating mul

The healthcare industry stands at a critical inflection point. Digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and data-driven care models are no longer emerging trends—they're operational imperatives. Yet many healthcare executives and leaders continue to approach professional development the same way they have for decades: attending annual conferences, collecting continuing education credits, and hoping that occasional exposure to innovation will translate into organizatio

The AJN Book of the Year Awards have recognized excellence in healthcare publishing since 1969, making this recognition particularly meaningful!

The question isn't whether AI will transform healthcare, but whether that transformation will happen in the presence or absence of physician leadership. ~Dr Greenhill

Dr. Richard Greenhill brings insights to HCA Medical Staff on AI's impact on healthcare at Dec 2nd event in The Woodlands, TX.

Two hospitals implemented the same agentic AI for sepsis prediction. Same technology, radically different outcomes. Hospital A built psychological safety first. Nurses reported AI false alarms. The team investigated and improved the algorithm. Hospital B rushed implementation without culture work. Nurses stayed silent about problems. Staff began ignoring all alerts. A preventable death occurred. The difference wasn't the AI. It was the culture. Culture before technology. Alwa

Now emphasizes "digital literacy" as the core theme from the first sentence, making it clear this is about workforce capability, not just technology readiness.

Every overridden alert, every pharmacist intervention, every near-miss becomes training data.

Agentic AI could slash HEDIS abstraction time 70% for health plans. Discover how quality leaders are preparing for year-round AI-driven quality measurement.

Navigating the AI Era: Craftsmanship in Healthcare Leadership AI functions in ways that feel threatening, mostly because we, as humans, are creatures of habit. This is true in our personal lives and our careers. Surviving in a future with AI will require us to examine the unique intersections of our experience, education, and industry. Routine will become irrelevant, and value will shift to the unique contributions we bring to our roles and the care we provide to patients. Th
