Our first Leadership Forum of the new year set the tone for 2026, with a clear focus on how innovation, technology, and teamwork will continue to shape the future of care at TGH. Leaders highlighted how AI is already making a meaningful impact, including the use of DAX Copilot in more than 300,000 patient visits, helping reduce documentation time for physicians and nurses and creating more space for patient-centered care.
The conversation also emphasized our commitment to protecting patient information and ensuring every AI tool is carefully vetted before it is put into practice. A broader discussion on patient safety and experience highlighted early progress tied to our new nursing structure, along with powerful frontline perspectives from orthopedic nurses who shared how consistency, teamwork, and attention to detail are improving care every day.
We also had some fun at the forum, with President & CEO, John Couris, manning a slingshot and launching t-shirts into the crowd to build excitement for Innovation Week next month! The forum closed with a forward-looking focus on fostering bold ideas, collaboration, and continuous improvement as we move through the year ahead.
