Before an AI Reads the Chart, Make Sure It Belongs to One Patient

Join us for our November Boston Healthcare Cloud & AI Community (BOSHUG) Meetup! We're bringing together healthcare professionals, cloud engineers, AI enthusiasts, and innovators for another evening of learning, networking, and meaningful conversations. 🎟️ Reserve your ticket on Eventbrite This month, we're excited to welcome Saiteja Jonnalagadda, Senior Cloud Engineer at CVS Health, for an important discussion on patient identity and AI safety in healthcare. Featured Session: Before an AI Reads the Chart, Make Sure It Belongs to One Patient Session Description: What happens when an AI assistant confidently summarizes a medical record that accidentally combines information from two different patients? As AI becomes more integrated into healthcare, accurate patient identity matching is no longer just a data quality concern. It's a patient safety priority. Saiteja will explore real-world challenges in patient matching, from duplicate records and name variations to complex identity scenarios that traditional testing often misses. Using synthetic data, he'll share practical approaches to privacy-preserving record matching and safeguards that help ensure the right patient information reaches AI systems. Meet Our Speaker Saiteja specializes in patient identity matching and large-scale healthcare data systems. At CVS Health, he designs solutions for real-time demographic events and patient record reconciliation. He is also an IEEE Senior Member and published researcher whose work spans privacy-preserving patient matching, anomaly detection, and healthcare AI. ### Event Details 📅 Thursday, November 19, 2026 🕔 5:00 PM 📍 Microsoft New England Research & Development (NERD) Center - 1 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA Come Learn, Connect, and Collaborate!
