SCAN names industry veteran Aman Bhandari as its first Chief AI Officer to lead enterprise
#AI strategy.
“Most organizations in healthcare are still in the early stages of figuring out how to adopt AI responsibly and effectively,” said SCAN CEO
@sacjai. “At SCAN, we see AI as a powerful tool not just in traditional areas like risk adjustment, but to support the people doing the work every day, from member services teams to clinicians at the bedside. We’re excited to welcome Aman and the unique combination of technical expertise, policy insight and business leadership he brings as we continue to advance our AI capabilities.”
While many companies house AI solely within technology teams, Bhandari will report to SCAN's Chief People and Transformation Officer, Lindsay Crawley-Herbert, positioning the AI function within SCAN’s People and Transformation organization.
“We believe that successful AI transformation is fundamentally about people,” said Crawley-Herbert. “The challenge with AI isn’t implementing the technology—it’s marrying the complexity of the technology with how the workforce adopts and uses it effectively and ethically. That intersection is where SCAN is focusing its efforts. By placing this role within the People and Transformation team, we are reinforcing that employees are at the heart of AI adoption, and Aman’s expertise makes him exceptionally well positioned to help lead this work forward.”
“SCAN has a powerful mission and an organizational culture that is genuinely committed to AI innovation in service of the populations they care for,” said
@GHideas. “What drew me here is the organization’s mission and belief that AI should empower the workforce... SCAN is creating a model for how healthcare organizations can responsibly harness AI to solve real problems.”
