In this episode of AI Today, host Kathleen Walch, Director, AI Engagement and Community, PMI, continues the AI in Healthcare mini-series, produced in partnership by PMI and Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). Today, Kathleen sits down with Dr. Reza Ryan Sadeghian, System Chief Medical Information Officer at University of Toledo Health. Dr. Sadeghian is also PMP-certified. Tune in to learn how AI is revolutionizing healthcare delivery through:
- Combat physician burnout with 45+ specialty-specific GPT applications that reduce documentation time while improving clinical quality and consistency
- Transform clinical workflows with patient-centered AI tools for pediatric care, infectious disease diagnosis, and medical education feedback
- Implement robust AI governance through layered oversight, human-in-the-loop design, and continuous validation with bias testing
- Build clinician trust by involving healthcare providers in shaping AI tools rather than imposing rigid pathways, respecting clinical judgment while augmenting decision-making
- Embed AI as infrastructure rather than standalone tools, treating AI initiatives with the same governance rigor as clinical interventions
Dr. Sadeghian also discusses the shift from digitization to digital transformation and how organizations can responsibly deploy AI while maintaining patient-centered care.
Whether you're a healthcare leader, project manager, or curious observer, this episode offers practical, hopeful, and forward-looking insights on building AI-enabled healthcare systems with empathy and vision.
