Free Executive Web Briefing Courtesy Of Clinically AI
October 7, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET
AI’s role in behavioral health is evolving beyond basic note-taking. The real opportunity is in organizational AI—systems that don’t just document, but actively support compliance, quality, and governance.
In this session, Ross Young, CEO of Clinically AI, will be joined by Willow Coefield, Clinical Director and Head of AI, and former Chief Compliance Officer at Recovery Centers of Montana, and Joe Hromco, Ph.D., Chief Clinical Officer at Clinically AI. Together, they’ll explore how the next phase of AI can be personalized to the unique workflows, regulatory requirements, and quality standards of behavioral health organizations.
The panel will share how AI can strengthen clinical judgment, streamline auditing, and provide leaders with governance tools that improve efficiency, accountability, and compliance. Attendees will walk away with a practical roadmap for using AI not only to reduce burden, but also to transform compliance, oversight, and organizational decision-making.
Key Areas of Focus
- Beyond Documentation: Moving from simple note generation to real-time compliance support and quality auditing.
- Compliance & Risk Reduction: AI that flags compliance gaps or quality issues at submission or across historical records—reducing risk exposure.
- Organizational Governance: How generative AI can support leadership by interpreting regulations, aligning policies, and standardizing best practices.
- Personalization at Scale: Why behavioral health organizations need AI that adapts to their templates, payor rules, and accreditation standards.
- Regulatory & Legal Safeguards: Understanding how AI can help organizations stay aligned with evolving federal and state laws, mitigate audit risks, and create defensible documentation practices.
- Clinical Judgment First: Why every AI use case must reinforce, not replace, the expertise of clinicians.
