How Allina Health is building the operating system for AI transformation — and driving $7.3M in added annual surgical contribution margin


Wednesday, July 29th, 2026 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT 

Most health systems are still deciding where to start with AI. Allina Health already knows where it leads — a systemwide transformation strategy that is already driving $7.3 million in added annual surgical contribution margin.

What started in 2022 as an effort to grow surgical volume produced fast, measurable results: 3.5 added cases per OR per month and 36% robotic volume growth in the first four months. That proof point became the foundation for a broader strategy spanning perioperative care, inpatient capacity and a first-of-its-kind co-development model.

In this live webinar, leaders from Allina Health will share how the organization moved from one use case to an enterprise AI transformation model — and the operational and cultural conditions that made it possible.

Learnings include:
 
  • How AI and automation boost robotic volume and drive millions in revenue
  • What enterprise AI transformation looks like beyond pilots and point solutions
  • How to make the case for enterprisewide AI — from getting started to proving ROI to scaling
