AI-generated from publicly available materials.Dr. Evan Collins from Houston Methodist is set to address the complexities of integrating ambient AI into surgical environments at the HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum.
In his upcoming presentation titled "From Resistance to Results: A Change Management Playbook for Ambient AI in the OR," Collins will share insights from a real-world case study on implementing ambient technology within a healthcare system. He aims to provide a comprehensive overview of both the deployment process and the management strategies necessary for successful integration.
One of the primary challenges Collins identifies is the cultural shift required to embrace new technologies. He emphasizes that beyond technical issues, fostering an environment that values change is crucial. Additionally, gaining acceptance from users and demonstrating a tangible return on investment (ROI) are significant hurdles that must be addressed during implementation.
Collins hopes attendees will leave with a practical framework for technology adoption, informed by lessons learned from previous experiences. His insights are expected to aid healthcare professionals in navigating their own digital health initiatives effectively, thereby enhancing the overall integration of AI in surgical practices.
