AI Agents for Healthcare

Healthcare organizations need the right foundation before deploying AI agents. In this episode, we share a practical readiness model to help teams assess where they are and what they need next. Learn how to move from strategy to execution using a four-layer platform model, six steps for operationalizing AI responsibly, and a framework for identifying and scaling the right use cases.

This episode ties together the core themes from our first eight episodes—covering governance, care transitions, revenue cycle, value-based care, and more—into one cohesive framework. We explore how healthcare organizations can move from isolated AI use cases to a scalable, governed Agentic AI strategy that drives real transformation across payers and providers.

What’s happening in the Agentic AI market—and what should healthcare organizations do next? This episode covers insights from a new report on the state of Agentic AI in healthcare. We explore key trends, use cases for payers and providers, and how to evaluate vendors. You’ll also hear about prioritization strategies, implementation roadmaps, and what to watch out for as adoption accelerates.

Care transitions are a major source of cost, risk, and inefficiency. In this episode, we explore how multi-agent systems powered by Agentic AI are improving coordination, reducing readmissions, and streamlining discharge and post-acute care workflows. Learn how AI agents work together across payer and provider systems to automate tasks, improve outcomes, and support financial sustainability—plus w...

This episode explains what AI agents really are—and what they’re not. We cover how Agentic AI moves beyond traditional AI by enabling agents that can plan, decide, and act across healthcare workflows. Learn how multi-agent systems are already reducing administrative burdens and improving care in areas like claims, care coordination, and patient engagement. We also clarify the role of LLMs, and why...

What does it take to successfully adopt AI agents in healthcare? In this episode, we walk through the Agentic AI Playbook for Healthcare Leaders , a practical guide to identifying high-impact use cases, aligning stakeholders, and scaling AI responsibly. If you're leading AI strategy in a payer or provider organization, this episode outlines the steps that actually work.

In this episode, we break down the key ideas from our whitepaper AI Governance, Compliance, and Risk Management: A Responsible AI Framework for Healthcare AI Agents . Learn why governance is critical to move from AI experimentation to real-world impact.
