Emerging forces reshaping health care – including AI, innovation, workforce challenges and financial sustainability – are driving rapid transformation, and two Sanford Health leaders will bring their perspectives to keynote panel discussions at the upcoming Becker’s Healthcare 16th Annual Meeting.
The four-day conference takes place April 13 to 16 in Chicago. Sanford Health’s Tommy Ibrahim, M.D., MBA, MHA, executive vice president and chief transformation officer, and Brad Reimer, chief technology and digital officer, will join executives from the nation’s top health systems.
Looking ahead at leadership
Ibrahim will join a keynote panel discussion, “C-suite Reboot: What Health Systems Need for the Next 5 Years” focused on how chief executives are reimagining strategy, structure and leadership to meet the demands of the next five years.
“The next five years will require health system leaders to fundamentally rethink how we structure our organizations, develop our workforce and lead through rapid transformation,” said Ibrahim. “At Sanford Health, that means building an AI-ready workforce, putting strong governance in place to earn trust and staying disciplined about solving the right problems – so we can move forward with innovation while keeping the human connection at the center of care.”
The panel will be moderated by Molly Gamble, vice president, editorial at Becker’s Healthcare. Other confirmed speakers include Ramin Davidoff, M.D., co-chief executive officer at The Permanente Federation; Stephen Motew, M.D., MHA, FACS, president and chief executive officer at UF Health; and Munjal Shah, co-founder and chief executive officer at Hippocratic AI.
Predicting AI impact on health care
Reimer will participate in an opening keynote panel called “Predicting AI’s Impact as Healthcare Continues Big Shifts.”
He will be joined by Jeff Gautney, senior vice president and chief information officer for Rush University System for Health, and Sunil Dadlani, executive vice president, chief information and digital officer and chief cyber security officer for Atlantic Health System. Reimer’s panel discussion will be moderated by Laura Dyrda, editor-in-chief at Becker’s Healthcare.
“As health care undergoes rapid change, the real opportunity with AI is to apply it in ways that meaningfully improve both the patient and clinician experience,” said Reimer. “That requires balancing speed with discipline – ensuring strong governance, aligning every investment to our mission and building the capabilities, including forward-deployed engineering and agentic platforms, to scale innovation responsibly and effectively.”
This is the fifth consecutive year Sanford Health leaders have taken part in the Becker’s Annual Meeting.
