Chairman’s Welcome Address You’re Not Missing Out: Slow Down — and Do AI Right
The risks of doing AI wrong: wasted time and money, increased complexity, and avoidable patient safety exposure
Foundations first: standardize workflows and master data before scaling; start with non-clinical AI to deliver fast wins with lower risk
Four high-impact use cases (today):
After-Call Work (ACW): automated call summaries, dispositions, reason codes, and CRM updates
Sepsis support: earlier detection and escalation support with clear governance and clinical guardrails
Quality & Patient Safety: automated signal detection, chart review support, and trend monitoring
AI as infrastructure: moving from “jobs” to unbundled work—breaking processes into “atomic steps” that can be automated, augmented, or reassigned
The Agent Threshold Limit: once cost/friction drops, organizations can finally do work that was previously “too expensive” to do at scale (continuous monitoring, always-on coaching, real-time compliance)
Intelligent by Design: if you’re building or expanding facilities, AI changes the assumptions—capacity models, staffing ratios, space, adjacencies, and the operating model itself

Keynote Address Preparing for Disease X: Outbreak Dynamics and Supply Chain Resilience
Pandemics and infectious disease outbreaks place the healthcare system under extreme pressure, requiring rapid and complex decisions under highly uncertain and interconnected conditions. Yet traditional preparedness approaches are often static and sector-specific and do not fully capture the fast-evolving, system-wide disruptions that unfold during such crises.
This session introduces a dual perspective on strengthening pandemic preparedness by combining an understanding of outbreak dynamics with a logistics-centered resilience lens. It will first reflect on what constitutes an outbreak and how pandemic risk evolves from local emergence to systemic disruption. It will also provide examples of pandemic preparedness and explore the critical role of logistics and supply chains during outbreaks, drawing lessons from COVID-19, and discuss how disruptions propagate through supply networks that sustain essential goods.
Together, these perspectives aim to shift pandemic preparedness from reactive crisis management toward proactive, system-level resilience—positioning logistics and supply chains as foundational pillars of national stability in future outbreaks.

Digital Transformation in Healthcare Supply ChainIntroduction/Background of Topic
The ability of supply chains to reduce costs associated with medical supplies and pharmaceuticals shows that supply inventory reduction is possible, even in critical industries such as hospitals and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals around the world are looking at ways to reduce costs and at the same time increase patient safety. The effective management of the supply chain pipeline using IoT and analytical tools continues to grow at a tremendous speed. This has been successfully proven in the retail and financial sectors but is now increasingly seen in the healthcare sector. The healthcare industry needs to continue developing and incorporating these new developments in its operations so that it can compete in a market that is getting more competitive than ever.
Traditionally, most hospitals use costing of services to maximize revenue (revenue was cost-based). With the tightening of medical insurance reimbursements, hospitals are moving away from cost-based numbers and are looking at cost reduction to improve profitability. As such, hospitals that want to effectively manage their supply chain must invest in business intelligence (BI) software, according to a recent Aberdeen Group survey of supply chain professionals. The survey respondents reported the main issues that drive business intelligence initiatives include increased operations complexity as more hospitals expanded; lack of visibility into the supplies and medications utilization; and the growing number of counterfeit drugs and non-certified medical supplies.
Objectives of Session
Utilization of business intelligence to achieve optimal supply chain coordination, lower costs and reduce inventories Redesigning inter-organizational processes to adopt your business intelligence strategy for success and identification of optimum integration level with your ERP application Adopting automation systems such as RFID and barcode technology to boost productivity and performance in hospitals
Improve hospital facility management using solar energy and building automation systems
One Produce One Barcode : Opportunities for Healthcare Stakeholders
The presence of multiple barcodes on healthcare products can contribute to medical errors, creating confusion during scanning, increasing the likelihood of mistakes in product data capture, ultimately impacting the ‘five rights’ of medication administration: right drug, right dose, right route, and right patient, at the right time.
Imagine a future where a single barcode at the point of scan or care allows access to a seamless flow of product information, facilitating a more efficient, transparent supply chain and a safer, more engaging and informative experience for healthcare providers and patients. This is a vision of a future that ‘One Product, One Barcode’ (1P1B) has helped to bring about.
