Held in collaboration with the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), the summit featured Cleveland Clinic leaders and nationally recognized experts who shared insights on how AI is transforming healthcare delivery in inpatient and outpatient settings, critical care, surgery, nursing, pharmacy and medical education. There were more than 900 registered attendees in person and virtual for the day-long event at the InterContinental Hotel.
