✨ Cincinnati just took a major step forward in shaping the future of healthcare. The Cincinnati AI in Healthcare Summit brought together 105 leaders across health systems, startups, academia, industry, and policy — and the energy in the room was extraordinary. We heard inspiring perspectives on how AI will transform care delivery, empower clinicians, and accelerate innovation — and we tackled the real-world questions that matter most: 🧠 How will AI reshape the future of medicine and improve patient care? 🛡️ What guardrails and governance systems do we need to ensure safe, responsible deployment? ⚖️ How do we build AI that advances — not threatens — health equity? 💰 How will AI streamline the financial engine and strengthen the sustainability of healthcare organizations? 🌐 How do we activate the incredible AI, research, and clinical assets already in our region to support innovators and founders? The takeaway was clear — AI is not a replacement for human intelligence in healthcare; it is an amplifier. Done right, it will support our clinicians, strengthen our systems, and create more equitable and accessible care for all. Thank you to our incredible speakers, moderators, and partners — and to everyone who contributed ideas, energy, and vision. And a special thanks to The Health Collaborative for investing in this inaugural event and to 1819 Innovation Hub for hosting us. The momentum is real, and this community is just getting started. Here’s to building an AI-enabled, human-centered healthcare future — right here in Cincinnati. #CincyAICatalyst #HealthCollaborative #CincyAIHealthcare #HealthcareAI #CincinnatiInnovation #ResponsibleAI #HealthEquity #CincyAIforHumans

CMS’s newly proposed organ procurement organization rule (Jan 30, 2026) is the first time automated electronic donor referrals are clearly surfaced as a policy priority. The rule doesn’t mandate automation yet, but it explicitly asks the field to weigh in on: – Automated referral workflows – Use of EHRs, APIs, and FHIR – How technology could improve timely donor identification That matters, because referral timing is one of the most consequential upstream steps in organ donation—and it’s still largely manual and variable. Importantly, the evidence base here is still small. To date, the only published study examining automated donor referral implementation was a pilot study I led, showing feasibility and improvements in referral timeliness (link in comments). CMS is clearly signaling interest in moving this conversation forward. The next step will depend on how clinicians, OPOs, hospitals, and health IT experts engage during the comment period. https://lnkd.in/e4ADTd7F #TransplantPolicy #Hospitals #HealthPolicy

HFS breaks down $1 billion request for slice of federal rural healthcare transformation funds | Federal funds intended to support rural healthcare, with a focus on transformation, barriers to care and building the workforce. [Health News Illinois] Department of Healthcare and Family Services Chief of Staff Dana Kelly told members of the Medicaid Advisory Committee that the application focuses on those three pillars through written public comments from over 100 organizations and other stakeholders, as well as public listening sessions and calls with organizations affected by the federal cuts. “This whole strategy, robust as it was… was done in six weeks,” she said. The Department of Health and Human Services said last week that all 50 states submitted applications for the $50 billion in rural healthcare funding.  Award winners will be announced by the end of the year, and funding will support rural health innovations that promote preventative care, improve sustainability, test new models of care delivery and support technology innovations.
