His appointment supports Notables focus on helping healthcare organisations use AI to increase capacity improve access to care reduce administrative work and make better use of existing resources.

Desais experience supports Notables vision of a System of Work, where AI-agents and people work together across existing systems to complete tasks from start to finish. The goal is to help healthcare teams do more without adding extra administrative work for staff or patients.

At Notable, Desai will work with health system leader's to identify key opportunities align clinical and operational teams, and turn priorities into practical workflows. His focus will include patient access care operations and workforce productivity.

"More AI does not automatically mean more capacity or better margins," said Pranay Kapadia, CEO and co-founder of Notable. "Those gains require changing how work gets done. Nick has led clinical technology across a health system, and taken direct responsibility for hospital operations.

The measure of AI will not be intelligence. It will be impact," said Desai. "For a health system that means whether patients get care sooner whether teams have more capacity and whether work get's completed reliably. Having led both enterprise technology, and hospital operations, I know deployment is only the beginning.
