The senior vice president of Microsoft Health and renowned spine surgeon will talk about AI\u2019s role in transforming health care ecosystems.<\/p>\n
Artificial intelligence<\/a> is rapidly reshaping the health care landscape,<\/a> and few leaders embody this transformation more than James Weinstein, D.O. A renowned spine surgeon, health policy innovator and senior vice president of Microsoft Health, Dr. Weinstein will headline the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine\u2019s Dean\u2019s Lecture with a talk titled, \u201cAI in Health Care Ecosystem Transformation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Date and time: Sept. 23, 2025 at noon<\/p>\n Dr. Weinstein\u2019s career spans decades of pioneering work in patient-centered care, health equity and value-based health systems. At Microsoft Health, he leads global strategy and innovation, focusing on improving access and outcomes through AI-driven technologies. His work has consistently emphasized empowering patients through \u201cinformed choice\u201d rather than traditional \u201cinformed consent,\u201d and he was instrumental in developing Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), now widely used to assess treatment efficacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI feel very optimistic that artificial intelligence will have a key role to help us transform systems that we all want to make better,\u201d said Dr. Weinstein at a recent Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n His leadership at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health and The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice helped establish national collaborations like the High Value Healthcare Collaborative, which improved care quality while reducing costs across 50 states. Dr. Weinstein\u2019s research and policy contributions have earned him appointments to national advisory boards and recognition as a thought leader in health care reform.\u00a0<\/p>\n In a Harvard Business Review article, Dr. Weinstein and co-author Ron Adner argued that generative AI is not just a tool for efficiency. It\u2019s a catalyst for ecosystem transformation. They emphasized that AI\u2019s true potential lies in its ability to rewire traditional health care silos and create new organizational models that better serve patients. Dr. Weinstein makes sure to underscore the importance of catering technology to patient needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cDisruption generally refers to a substitution of technology to make a specific thing easier to do,\u201d he said. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t necessarily change the patient experience for the better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re a clinician, researcher, student or health care leader, this lecture offers a unique opportunity to engage with one of the foremost voices in AI and health care transformation.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The senior vice president of Microsoft Health and renowned spine surgeon will talk about AI\u2019s role in transforming…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":158820,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[182,181,56013,96838,97,252,253,74],"class_list":["post-158819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health-care","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-bioethics","tag-deans-distinguished-lecture-series","tag-health","tag-health-care","tag-healthcare","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158819"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158819\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/158820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=158819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=158819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
