Program Description:

As home-based care faces increasing workforce shortages, inefficiencies, and rising demand, AI is emerging as a transformative tool to improve care delivery and empower staff. In this presentation you will learn how AI can serve as a partner rather than a replacement for the care workforce, alleviating administrative burdens and surfacing real-time insights to support clinical and operational decision-making. Erin also discusses key considerations for safe and ethical AI adoption, from data privacy to change management strategies.
