Session synopsis: 
Within our clinical and practice management environments, AI has in fact been at play for some years. This can vary from taken for granted transcription, registration and other management type technologies to more clinically focused AI assisted decision making. Ensuring we, as academic keep ahead of these new technologies is essential.

This morning our speakers focus on how such technologies can be incorporated into our workflows.
