The Academy and Nuance Joins Forces to Launch the AI Collaborative

The AI Collaborative brings together executives from Leading Health Systems in an experience community focused on the responsible, efficient, and future-oriented deployment of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in healthcare indicates that these technologies will increasingly enhance clinical decision-making, workforce support and planning, patient experience, and overall business strategy. The Health Management Academy (The Academy) has collaborated with Nuance, a Microsoft company, to launch The AI Collaborative, which brings together senior leaders from the nation's Leading Health Systems (LHS) who are deploying these technologies in clinical and operational settings, as well as planning for future use-cases.

Microsoft and Nuance, which joined together this year, represent two of the world's most trusted and inventive technology companies. Nuance and Microsoft are ideal partners in the effort to create a progressive peer community anchored in collaboration with key LHS executives and experts across the healthcare ecosystem, as they have decades of experience bringing cutting-edge cloud and AI technology to the financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, and retail industries.
