Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayChicago-based AVIA, which works with health systems on digital transformation, has launched Nexus Agentic AI, a platform designed to help health systems responsibly adopt agentic AI.
Citing a Gartner prediction that more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027 due to escalating costs, unclear business value or inadequate risk controls, AVIA said it is hoping to address these challenges by bringing together 10 health systems in its first cohort, with a second cohort set to launch later this fall.
The first 10 include Bon Secours Mercy Health, Children’s Wisconsin, Legacy Health, Boston Children’s Hospital, Froedtert ThedaCare Health, MedStar Health, and Moffitt Cancer Center.
In 2023, AVIA launched a similar collaborative around generative AI that involves 20 health systems, key industry associations, and government leaders—including Providence, Memorial Hermann Health System, MedStar Health, Geisinger, the American Hospital Association, and others—to produce a playbook shared with participating organizations.
“Healthcare leaders recognize the transformative potential of agentic AI, but many remain early in their adoption journey,” said Clay Holderman, AVIA, CEO, in a statement. “By bringing together leading health systems and solution innovators, this cohort will bridge the gap between ambition and execution, creating scalable models for a hybrid human-AI workforce.”
“It is absolutely critical that we remain at the forefront of the digital evolution happening in health care,” said William Sheahan, senior vice president and chief innovation officer at MedStar Health, in a statement.
“As part of AVIA’s Nexus Collaborative, we not only improve our own ability to shape the future of patient care, but we can also generate opportunities and solutions that benefit our peers in this cohort and beyond,” added Sheahan, who is also executive director of the MedStar Institute for Innovation.
This AVIA Nexus has a dual-track model that starts with the Global Track, in which participants will explore strategy, ethics, governance, and scaling of agentic AI for their systems.
In parallel, the Application Tracks include department-specific working groups focused on:
Nursing Clinical Support, Customer Service and Contact Centers, and Patient Experience
"We have been part of the AVIA Nexus collaboratives on Generative Artificial Intelligence and Regulatory Readiness to ensure that we have the proper foundation to responsibly use AI throughout the healthcare system and to enable us to have the right conversations with the right people about the changes happening at the policy and regulatory levels, respectively,” said Bradley Crotty, M.D., M.P.H., chief digital officer/president of Inception Health, the digital health affiliate of Froedtert ThedaCare Health, in a statement. “With AVIA’s newest offering, the Nexus Collaborative on Agentic AI, we are eager to continue our work with them as they push the envelope to better support our patients through the digital transformation of health systems.”
The next AVIA Nexus Collaboration, Autonomous Enterprise, which is being co-designed with health system CFOs and COOs, is focused on solving high-impact financial and operational challenges through emerging technology.
