Mission and North Star

Better care is the point. AI is the means.

Our mission is to improve health outcomes, patient experience, workforce sustainability, and health equity by advancing the safe, effective, responsible, and compliant adoption of AI.

A healthcare continuum where responsible AI reduces burden, supports the workforce, accelerates access, improves safety and experience, and closes disparities.

Our North Star
01

Health outcomes

Move beyond pilots toward measurable benefit, safer care, and faster access to effective treatment.

02

Patient experience

Reduce friction and administrative burden while preserving trust, dignity, privacy, and human judgment.

03

Workforce sustainability

Use automation to support—not displace—the people responsible for care, operations, and public health.

Health equity

Design adoption so benefits travel across populations, communities, geographies, and care settings.

Every initiative must be

  • Safe
  • Efficacious
  • Responsible
  • Compliant

Employers, behavioral health, long-term care, home health, technology, and cybersecurity participants can join through the relevant pillar or workstream. Organizations can start a partnership conversation.

AI 2030 Healthcare Working Group — Virtual Kickoff

Monday, August 31, 2026 · 2:00–2:45 PM Eastern Time

Nancy Maher and Vidur Nayyar, Co-Chairs of AI 2030 Healthcare, are the confirmed principal speakers.

Healthcare is entering a decisive period for AI adoption. Organizations across the ecosystem are testing new capabilities while confronting shared questions about governance, safety, cybersecurity, regulation, workforce impact, trust, and measurable health outcomes.

Join Co-Chairs Nancy Maher and Vidur Nayyar for the virtual kickoff of the AI 2030 Healthcare Working Group, a US-led and globally relevant initiative bringing together healthcare operators, policymakers, researchers, and patient and community voices.

The session will introduce the Working Group’s mission, participation model, and Year 1 priorities—including the Agentic AI Adoption Guide for Healthcare, practical implementation and governance guidance, cross-sector case studies, executive roundtables, and industry insights.

Participants will also learn how to become involved as Founding Pillar Leads, Working Group members, workstream contributors, interns, or organizational partners.

Registration not yet open

Registration will open after the public Teams registration page, organizer and backup permissions, attendee emails and reports, and an external test are verified.

Three founding roles

Bring your pillar into the room—end to end.

Each lead is expected to represent the breadth of their sector, surface real implementation challenges, and turn cross-sector discussion into useful outputs.

01

Open founding role

Providers and Care Delivery

For an operator working across care delivery—not only acute care.

  • Health systems and physician groups
  • Ambulatory and academic care
  • Behavioral health, home health, and long-term care

02

Open founding role

Founding Lead, Pharmacy

For a leader connecting medication access, safety, and operations.

  • Retail and specialty pharmacy
  • Hospital and health-system pharmacy
  • Dispensing, medication management, and pharmacy technology

03

Open Year 1 role

Public Health and Government

For a leader who can connect responsible AI with population needs and public accountability.

  • Federal, state, local, or tribal public health
  • Regulatory, policy, and government programs
  • Community and population-health outcomes

This is an operator role, not an honorary title.

We are looking for senior leaders actively deploying or governing AI who can bring evidence, candor, and an ecosystem-wide perspective.

Before you apply

A few useful answers.

Is this limited to the United States?

Year 1 is US-led and globally relevant. We welcome perspectives that help the work travel, while being honest about the initial operating focus.

Do I need to represent a large organization?

No. The important requirement is senior operating experience and the ability to represent a pillar beyond a single organization or function.

What will the Working Group produce?

The flagship output is an Agentic AI Adoption Guide for Healthcare, supported by practical implementation guidance, case studies, insight briefs, and executive roundtables.

What happens after I apply?

Nancy and Vidur review applications on a rolling basis. Shortlisted candidates are contacted for a conversation; not every applicant will be interviewed.
