The Future of Care Delivery

CMIO Panel · HealthIMPACT Forum, New York

The question is not whether AI will change healthcare. The question is who will be accountable when it does.

Dr. Reza Sadeghian, Chief Medical Information Officer, moderated the CMIO panel at the HIMSS local chapter and the HealthIMPACT Forum in New York, exploring how physician executives are reshaping the future of care delivery through AI governance, clinical workflow transformation, and responsible deployment.

His message to physician leaders: rise above the noise. Focus on outcomes, not technology. Build governance structures that hold up when something goes wrong. Lead by example at every level, from the bedside to the boardroom.
