Is Your Data Foundation Ready to Scale for AI?
HealthTech Magazine, Wednesday, November 4th, 2026
Healthcare organizations need accessible, well-governed data aligned to specific AI use cases before AI can scale beyond pilots.
HealthTech Magazine says health systems have plenty of data, but making it accessible, consistent and well governed is the main barrier to AI.
Dr. Angela Shippy of Amazon Web Services says organizations want data in the right place, time and format.
Rather than overhauling their whole data environment, providers should assess the data needed for each AI use case, and CDW offers an AI and Data Readiness Checklist for a broader review.
AI projects often fail when a small pilot is scaled across departments with different systems and data definitions, so AWS customers increasingly plan for enterprise rollout from the start.
