PRESS RELEASE

Andor Health Convenes National Health System Leaders and Federal Policymakers at ThinkAI 2026 in Orlando, November 2–5

ORLANDO, United States, FL, October 30th, 2026, FinanceWire


CMS's Amy Gleason, former U.S. CTO Aneesh Chopra, Andor Health CEO Raj Toleti, and executives from Sentara, Ballad Health, Orlando Health, AdventHealth, Elevance Health and Samsung headline a four-day summit on who owns the outcome when AI enters clinical care. 

The Associated Press is invited to attend.

The Summit

Andor Health, the AI-native clinical services company built on ThinkAndor- an AI-first platform that unifies care team collaboration, ambient documentation, and workflow orchestration at hospitals nationwide- will host ThinkAI 2026 from November 2 to 5 at the Conrad Orlando. 

The annual gathering convenes chief nursing, medical, information, and digital officers from health systems nationwide with federal policymakers to examine what AI is actually delivering inside hospitals and who is accountable for the results.

This year's theme, "Own the Outcome," reflects a shift underway across American healthcare. 

Health systems have launched AI pilots by the hundreds, yet the clinical workload still falls on the same overstretched nurses and physicians. 

ThinkAI 2026 spotlights the smaller group of organizations that have merged AI with clinical resources to deliver a unified single service and then demonstrate the delta in measurable performance and successful outcomes that the powerful combination of ThinkAndor(r) and Psynergy has produced. 

"Every health system in the country is standing up AI tools. Far fewer are AI-native clinical services that are willing to be accountable for what those tools produce at the bedside," said Raj Toleti, Chairman and CEO of Andor Health. "ThinkAI is where the leaders who have taken on that accountability show their work — the operating models, the outcomes and the lessons — so the rest of the industry can move faster."

Andor Health's AI-native clinical services platform, ThinkAndor(r), is deployed across more than 40 health systems serving over 20 million patients, and was named 2026 Best in KLAS for Virtual Care Platforms (Non-EHR). Earlier this year, CMS recognized ThinkAndor(r) as part of its Health Technology Ecosystem work.

Program Highlights

Over the main program on November 3 and 4, attendees will hear from the C Suite of health systems scaling AI-native clinical service care to generate superior outcomes, expand access to care, and put Rural Health Transformation (RHT) and CMS ACCESS Model funding to work. 

Each session at ThinkAI 2026 will be led by AI-native clinical service program directors accountable for the outcomes they’re producing. 

The schedule includes: 

  • Keynote Address — Turning Policy Into Outcomes: Amy Gleason, Administrator of the U.S. DOGE Service and Deputy Administrator and Chief Product Officer at CMS, on how the CMS ACCESS Model and Rural Health Transformation (RHT) funding are creating new technology-enabled care models.
  • Panel Session — CMS ACCESS and Accountability for Patient Outcomes: Gleason joins Aneesh Chopra, the first Chief Technology Officer of the United States; Novlet Mattis, Chief Digital and Information Officer of Orlando Health; Clay Runnels, MD, Chief Physician Executive of Ballad Health; and Nick Patel, MD.
  • Customer Showcase — Redesigning Nursing at Scale: Amber Price, DNP, Enterprise CNO of Sentara Health, on expanding virtual nursing across more than 1,700 inpatient rooms in 12 hospitals — more than 144,000 virtual nursing sessions and 41,000 hours returned to bedside nurses.
  • Customer Showcase — Reducing Readmissions by More Than 50%: Rajan Wadhawan, MD, Chief Clinical Officer of AdventHealth's West Florida Division, on observational AI in the hospital-to-home transition.
  • Keynote — Reducing Prior Authorization Friction: Ashok Chennuru, Chief Data & Digital AI Transformation Officer, Elevance Health.
  • Democratizing Access to Surgery: Shady Saikali, MD, of AdventHealth's Global Robotics Institute, on telesurgery and AI.
  • Extending Care Beyond the Hospital: Ricky Y. Choi, MD, MPH, Head of Digital Health at Samsung Electronics America, on connected devices, data and AI.
  • Policy outlook: Will Gordon, MD, Senior Advisor at Manatt Health and former CMS leader.
