8 stories we are following today at Becker's Healthcare 1. CommonSpirit CIO Daniel Barchi: Don’t forget the ‘people side’ of AI. Daniel Barchi CommonSpirit Health is a fantastic person and leader. Laura (Miller) Dyrda Daniel Barchi, CIO of CommonSpirit Health, has a hierarchy for everything, including AI adoption. Speaking at the Becker’s 16th Annual Meeting, Mr. Barchi said CommonSpirit’s approach to artificial intelligence through the lens of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, with core technology infrastructure at the base and AI-enabled “transcendent healthcare” accessible only after every foundational layer is in place. The core message? Tools don’t transform organizations. People, process and a disciplined foundation do. “Healthcare technology is really 80% people,” Mr. Barchi said. “It’s about 15% process, and it’s really only about 5% technology. And that’s true even with AI. AI operating on its own is not going to deliver better care. It’s not going to have a better outcome for that patient with the nurse standing by the patient. It’s only when we’ve got all those other things working in concert are we going to use AI in a really thoughtful way.” 2. 3rd cybersecurity specialist pleads guilty over healthcare ransomware attacks Giles Bruce A former ransomware negotiator has pleaded guilty to committing cyberattacks himself, including some involving healthcare. Angelo Martino, 41, of Land O’Lakes, Fla., entered the plea to one count of conspiracy to obstruct, delay or affect commerce or the movement of any article or commodity in commerce by extortion, according to a April 20 U.S. DOJ news release. 3.
