Cleveland Clinic and the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) will host the Second AI Summit for Health-Care Professionals on August 28 at the InterContinental Hotel in Cleveland. The one-day meeting brings together clinicians, IT leaders, and hospital administrators to examine how artificial intelligence is changing clinical practice and hospital operations.
The program is designed for healthcare professionals who need to separate practical AI applications from vendor hype. Attendees will hear from Cleveland Clinic leadership and other experts on where AI is producing measurable results in diagnosis, workflow efficiency, and patient outcomes.
What the summit covers
Cleveland Clinic President Scott R. Steele, MD, MBA, FACS, FASCRS, discussed the agenda in a video interview available through ASCO AI in Oncology. The session topics reflect the questions hospital systems face as they deploy AI tools: which technologies are ready for clinical use, what the regulatory picture looks like, and how to train staff effectively.
The summit arrives at a moment when health systems are under pressure to show that their AI investments improve care rather than just add another dashboard. For professionals working in clinical settings, the event offers a chance to see what peers are actually running in production environments.
Conexiant, publisher of The ASCO Post, will serve as Cleveland Clinic's exclusive media partner for the meeting. Additional registration details and the full agenda are available on the official event page.
Who should attend
The target audience spans roles that touch technology purchasing and implementation: chief medical information officers, nursing informatics leaders, revenue cycle directors, and practicing physicians who want input on the tools their institutions adopt. The programming addresses both strategic concerns, like governance and data privacy, and practical ones, like integrating AI into existing electronic health record workflows.
Healthcare professionals exploring AI applications in specific administrative areas can find relevant resources through dedicated training paths such as AI for Medical Billers. For a broader overview of how these technologies apply across clinical and operational roles, the AI for Healthcare collection covers use cases from diagnostics support to patient communication.
Why this matters for healthcare professionals
Hospital systems are hiring for AI roles and reallocating budgets toward data infrastructure, yet most clinicians have received no formal training on how to evaluate or use these tools. A summit like this one matters because it gives healthcare professionals a chance to learn from institutions that have already deployed AI at scale, rather than from vendors selling a product.
The practical takeaway: if your organization is evaluating AI tools, the questions asked at this summit - about clinical validation, workflow fit, and staff training - are the same ones you should be raising internally. Professionals who attend will leave with a clearer sense of what questions to ask their own IT departments and vendor partners.
