Small practices feel the pressure first: thin front-desk teams, rising admin load, and vendors pitching AI in every demo. This in-person, small-room workshop gives clinic owners, physicians, and practice managers a clear, no-hype way to decide what to adopt, what to skip, and how to keep patient data safe.
No technical background is needed everything is explained in plain language with practical healthcare examples.

WHAT WE WILL ANSWER
--------------------------------------------------
• Where do we even start?
Scheduling, reminders, intake, documentation, billing follow-up, and reviews. We rank the use cases that pay back fastest for a small practice.
• Is this HIPAA-safe?
Free AI tools and patient data don't mix. Learn which tools sign a BAA, what never goes into a chatbot, and how to set a simple staff AI policy.
• Will my team actually use it?
Most AI rollouts stall after the demo. Get a 90-day pilot plan with owners, training, and the numbers to track so it sticks.
--------------------------------------------------
