Optimizing the Supply Chain:
Optimizing the Supply Chain: Real-World Lessons on AI Adoption Across Operations, Supply Chain, and Surgical Services
December 7, 2026 | 2 – 3 PM ET
Overview
Health systems are under immense pressure to do more with less. While the reflex is to cut costs or optimize revenue, the real opportunity sits in the operations behind the scenes, an area that's ripe for innovation. But when adopting AI for non-clinical settings, the playbook that works for a 1000-bed adult academic medical center doesn't always translate to a children's hospital.
In this webinar co-hosted by Clarium and KidsX, health system leaders will discuss how AI adoption and data management differ (and align) between adult and pediatric hospitals, as well as share practical use cases leaders can implement to combat increasing financial headwinds. Panelists will share their experiences in deploying AI across specific use cases including within surgical services, supply chain and health system operations.
Panelists will talk about:
- Use cases: Are there better fits for each patient population?
- Financial ROI: What does cost savings look like when you use AI across pediatric and adult care settings. How are leading organizations quantifying productivity gains, cost savings, or efficiency improvements?
- AI governance: How do privacy and consent differ when dealing with minors compared to the typical issues CDIOs see with adult populations.
- Lessons learned: What can each side learn from each other?
