ICD is Excited to Launch the Healthcare Supply Chain Technology Summit!
November 17-18, 2025 | Boston, MA.
November 17-18, 2025 | Boston, MA.
This interactive, pre-conference workshop centers around the CyberSecureDeck: Defend the Network! card game, engaging participants in realistic cybersecurity scenarios through collaborative gameplay. Players take on roles to navigate threats, make strategic decisions, and strengthen their understanding of cyber risk management in a dynamic, hands-on environment.
Join us for a hands-on exploration of AI tools that are transforming healthcare supply chain management today. This interactive workshop will demonstrate practical, implementable AI solutions for demand forecasting, inventory optimization, supplier risk management, and procurement automation. Participants will learn to evaluate and deploy these tools while maintaining robust cybersecurity practices, leaving with a clear roadmap for integrating AI into their operations to reduce costs, minimize waste, and improve patient care outcomes.
The healthcare supply chain is experiencing a “perfect storm” of disruptions — from raw material shortages and geopolitical instability to provider reimbursement pressures and value-based care constraints. By taking an end-to-end view, Dr. Xin (David) Ding highlights how technology can break down silos, improve visibility, and create resilience across the healthcare ecosystem. Specific focus is placed on data integration, AI and predictive analytics, and strategic alignment of procurement with policy and patient care.
There are clear benefits when transitioning from traditional, fragmented supply chain systems to integrated, technologically advanced solutions, including enhanced visibility, increased efficiency, and significant cost reductions. Mike Hopkins will cover strategies for implementing digital tools, such as cloud-based platforms, IoT devices, AI/ML, and automation, to create a more resilient, responsive, and patient-centric supply chain.
Technological evolution will demand a shift in supply chain workforce skills and the development of expertise in areas like data science, risk management, and supplier relationship management. Healthcare organizations need to be focused on attracting and retaining top talent by investing in workforce development and fostering a culture of innovation and agility within the supply chain function.
The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), agentic systems, and digital twins is paving the way for a new era of autonomous and adaptive supply networks that can respond to disruptions and opportunities across the global landscape. Agentic AI systems can facilitate autonomous planning, execution, and continuous learning, leading to significant improvements in efficiency, resilience, and agility.
Cleveland Clinic is leveraging AI and automation to streamline workflows, improve accuracy, and drive efficiency across supply chain operations. This session will cover how we laid the foundation to implement these technologies and highlight key initiatives underway. Attendees will gain practical insights into the opportunities and challenges of applying AI and automation and explore strategies for future adoption and scalability.
