Welcome and Opening Session: Leadership Lens: Snapshots of Success Through the Art of Photography 
Presented by: Schaeffer Smith, MPH, CPA

As we celebrate RBMA’s Founders’ Day, honoring the vision, resilience, and leadership that shaped our community, this special session invites us to pause and reflect on leadership in a new light.
What can a photograph teach us about leadership? In this inspiring and visually rich presentation, Schaeffer Smith, an accomplished healthcare executive and dedicated photographer, draws meaningful connections between the art of photography and the practice of leadership. With two decades of experience in both fields, Schaeffer shares personal images and stories that explore how perspective, focus, composition, and timing influence outcomes- whether behind a lens or at the helm of a team.
This session offers a celebration of growth, vision, and the power of perspective. Join us as we commemorate RBMA’s legacy and look ahead through the leadership lens.

From Bots to Brains – Radiology’s Guide to AI Agents and Automation
Presented by: Stuart Newsome, CPCO  
Sponsored by Infinx

Over 70% of imaging centers still rely on manual processes for referral intake, scheduling, and prior authorization—leading to delays, staff burnout, and patient dissatisfaction. But what if the “staff” handling these tasks never clocks out? AI agents, driven by generative AI, are transforming how radiology and imaging centers streamline operations behind the scenes. These intelligent, invisible workers can reason, interact with data, and execute tasks across your tech stack—no arms or legs required. Join Stuart Newsome, CPCO, VP of RCM Insights at Infinx, for a rapid-fire walkthrough of how AI agents work and why they’re gaining traction in imaging operations. You’ll learn how these digital coworkers integrate with tools like RIS, PACS, and EHRs—plus where they’re already delivering value today. This session is perfect for radiology leaders, CIOs, practice administrators, operations managers, and IT teams ready to explore intelligent automation beyond basic RPA.
