OntarioMD on Practical AI and the Reality of Data Standards

Author: John Lynn August 10, 2026 Duration: 10:24

The healthcare industry is finally moving past the hype of artificial intelligence and the hope of data standards. Inserting immature tech or standard into an established workflow easily backfires if the deployment fails to adapt to human behavior.

Healthcare IT Today sat down with Aidan Lee and Matt Leduc, Executive Directors at OntarioMD, during the #eHealth26 conference. They share the practical steps required to deploy clinical AI safely and how to activate idle healthcare data standards. Viewers will learn why cross-functional governance and a strict focus on the clinician's daily workload dictate the success of any new tech rollout.
