The Agentic Shift: Redesigning Care Delivery Around Autonomous AI

Healthcare AI is entering a new phase. The HIMSS South Florida Annual Professional and Student Educational Event, The Agentic Shift: Redesigning Care Delivery Around Autonomous AI, will explore how AI is evolving from tools that analyze information and make recommendations into intelligent systems capable of reasoning, coordinating, making decisions, and taking action. The event will examine how agentic AI could reshape clinical care, healthcare operations, patient engagement, care coordination, and the healthcare workforce, while addressing the critical questions surrounding trust, governance, accountability, security, equity, and human oversight. The event features Dr. Aaron Baird, MBA, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Computer Information Systems and Dean’s Distinguished Research Fellow at Colorado State University’s College of Business. Dr. Baird brings expertise in health IT, digital health, analytics, and artificial intelligence, with research focused on how AI and advanced analytics influence organizational decision-making, coordination, and attention. Designed for healthcare professionals, technology leaders, students, and emerging healthcare innovators, the event will provide an opportunity to consider not only what autonomous AI can do, but how healthcare organizations should redesign care delivery and prepare their workforce for an increasingly intelligent and autonomous future.
