Spotlight on NCHCFA Fall Symposium Educational Sessions 

We will be featuring educational sessions from the NCHCFA Annual Fall Symposium on August 31 – September 2 at the Wilmington Convention Center in Wilmington, NC, leading up to the event.    

Learn how artificial intelligence can be implemented safely and effectively in long-term care during AI Governance: Selecting the Right Tools, Managing Risks, and Vetting Vendors. Join DeeAndra Sandgren, Chief Nursing Officer at Good Samaritan Sanford Health, on Tuesday, September 1, from 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. 

This session will provide a practical framework for evaluating and implementing AI in long-term care settings. Attendees will learn how to identify where AI can add value, distinguish between low and high-risk applications, assess vendors, and establish governance practices that support safe, responsible adoption. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to confidently evaluate AI tools while ensuring technology enhances, rather than replaces, sound clinical judgement and leadership.
