EP140: The Innovation and Disruption of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare with Sajid Ahmed - Relentless Health Value

Those who aren't paying attention to Artificial Intelligence right now are going to find themselves sadly lagging behind the curve – that's my main takeaway from my conversation with Sajid Ahmed, Chief Information and Innovation Officer, Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital (Los Angeles). It's not that AI is perfected, far from it, but the plain fact that you can't go from zero to done in one step with any AI implementation. So if you want to be on the finish line at the same time as those who are already well out of the AI gate, the time to start your incremental journey was probably about 2 years ago. Sajid Ahmed is the Chief Information and Innovation Officer of Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital in South Los Angeles. He is leading the new hospital's $70 million health information technology initiative and launching an innovation hub on the 42-acre MLK Medical Center Campus.
