As an independent chartered chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives, ACHE of Kansas, is authorized to award 4.5 hours of ACHE In Person Education credit toward advancement or recertification in the American College of Healthcare Executives. All healthcare leaders are invited to attend, regardless of ACHE membership.
Building on last year’s strong interest, this year’s program will feature three expert panel discussions designed to move beyond concepts and into actionable strategies:
- Practical Applications & Enablement – Hear real-world insights from hospital and health system leaders who are actively deploying AI tools to enhance clinical workflows, improve operational efficiency, and elevate patient experience. This panel will highlight what’s working, what’s not, and the lessons learned from early adoption.
- AI & Workforce Optimization – Explore how AI is reshaping staffing models, augmenting clinical and administrative teams, and supporting a more sustainable workforce. Panelists will discuss practical use cases—from predictive staffing to documentation support—along with implications for change management and staff readiness.
- Regulatory & Legal Implications for Healthcare Organizations Using AI – Gain clarity on the evolving regulatory landscape, including compliance considerations, risk mitigation strategies, transparency requirements, and legal frameworks that leaders must understand when implementing AI-enabled solutions.
