Are we actually seeing benefits from AI in health and healthcare? Or, Is most of it just hype?
On Jan 6, 2026, AIMed and Zoi held a webinar to discuss the key learnings about the progress of AI in healthcare to date and what may be in store for 2026.
We reviewed the key takeaways from the AIMed25 conference in San Diego in November, organized by Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, MS, author of multiple books in this field and the founder of AIMed.
Panelists included Margaret Lozovatsky, MD, FAMIA, Philip Payne, Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, MS, Ronald M. Razmi, MD and neil carpenter.
Key discussion points and takeaways:
– Ambient documentation’s rapid uptake is a pivotal moment for the adoption of AI in the practice of medicine
– A well-organized and comprehensive AI-generated note can be the foundation for revenue cycle management and clinical workstreams triggered based on key insights captured by ambient technology
– An agentic workforce that complements our clinical, operational, and administrative workforce is in our future but structural issues need to be addressed before that becomes a reality
– While the ROI story for ambient documentation and radiology is still developing, the immediate observable benefits are drivers of adoption in many institutions
