AVIA, a leading digital transformation partner for health systems, has launched Nexus Agentic AI, a platform to responsibly adopt Agentic AI for operational efficiency, workforce strengthening, and improved patient outcomes. Amid risks where over 40% of projects may fail by 2027 due to costs, unclear value, or inadequate controls, Nexus provides strategic guidance, ethics, governance, and scaling models through collaborative cohorts.
Health systems are eager to leverage Agentic AI for efficiency and quality care, but face high cancellation risks by 2027 from escalating costs, unclear ROI, and weak governance. Nexus Agentic AI bridges this gap with a collaborative framework, uniting innovators to develop scalable models for hybrid human-AI workforces. Clay Holderman, AVIA CEO, said, “Healthcare leaders recognize the transformative potential of Agentic AI, but many remain early in their adoption journey. By bringing together leading health systems and solution innovators, this cohort will bridge the gap between ambition and execution.”
The inaugural cohort features 10 health systems, with a second planned for fall 2025 amid strong interest. The Global Track explores strategy, ethics, governance, and scaling, while Application Tracks target specific areas: Nursing Clinical Support for streamlined workflows, Customer Service and Contact Centers for enhanced interactions, and Patient Experience for better access/outcomes. William Sheahan, Senior VP and Chief Innovation Officer at MedStar Health, noted, “As part of AVIA's Nexus Collaborative, we not only improve our own ability to shape the future of patient care, but we can also generate opportunities and solutions that benefit our peers.”
Bradley Cotty, Chief Digital Officer at Froedtert ThedaCare Health, added, “We have been part of the AVIA Nexus collaboratives on Generative Artificial Intelligence and Regulatory Readiness... With AVIA's newest offering, the Nexus Collaborative on Agentic AI, we are eager to continue our work with them.”
AVIA's platform fosters responsible Agentic AI adoption, drawing from partnerships with 45+ systems and the National GenAI Collaborative. It equips leaders to navigate risks, optimize workforces, and enhance care, aligning with broader digital transformation efforts. The upcoming Autonomous Enterprise, co-designed with CFOs/COOs, targets financial/operational challenges via emerging tech. Holderman concluded, “Our growing portfolio affirms AVIA's commitment to delivering real-world AI value and shaping next-generation operating models for a stronger, more resilient healthcare future.”
Nexus Agentic AI positions health systems to harness AI's potential responsibly, driving efficiency, equity, and innovation in a $4 trillion industry.
