AI Rx: How Artificial Intelligence is Rewriting Healthcare
Speaker: Sandra Schindler, Family Nurse Practitioner, Sanford Health
Artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare by enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and access across the care continuum. This presentation provides a clear overview of how AI tools are reshaping clinical workflows, from ambient listening and automated documentation to predictive analytics, clinic decision support, and computer-aided diagnosis. Attendees will explore real-world applications in patient access, radiology, clinical care, medical coding, quality improvement, research, genetics, wellness, and healthcare education.
This session highlights how AI-enabled telehealth, remote monitoring, and advanced simulation in medical education support patients and clinicians in new and meaningful ways. Alongside these opportunities, we will address key ethical considerations- data privacy, cybersecurity, information bias, and the importance of human oversight- as well as strategies to support change management and continuous learning.
Participants will leave with a grounded understanding of AI's expanding role in healthcare today and practical insights into how emerging technologies can elevate patient experience, strengthen clinical decision-making, and improve outcomes across rural and underserved communities. Did AI help me write this? You bet!!

How AI has exposed longstanding misalignments between what educational systems measure and what they're meant to develop, and what does that means for nursing education design. This session highlights how AI-enabled telehealth, remote monitoring, and advanced simulation in medical education support patients and clinicians in new and meaningful ways. Alongside these opportunities, we will address key ethical considerations - data privacy, cybersecurity, information bias, and the importance of human oversight - as well as strategies to support change management and continuous learning.
