Share

Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, offering enormous opportunities to transform many aspects of patient care and administrative processes in service delivery organizations.

This week on HIMSSCast we will focus on so-called responsible artificial intelligence.

The guests are Oneil Rego, leader of the data and analytics practice for partners and the healthcare industry at PwC, and Ilana Golbin Blumenfeld, director of emerging technologies and artificial intelligence and global responsible leader of artificial intelligence at PwC.

They will address how hospitals and health systems perform well with responsible AI; why organizations need to think about AI as a macro-level game spanning foundations, transformation and innovation; and much more.

Discussion points:

  • The complexity and growing amount of data in healthcare makes it ripe for disruption. However, given the sensitive nature of the industry, the potential impact on patient safety and care, and the importance of protecting privacy and security, it is vital to do it right.
  • Workplace transformation will be key to responsible scaling, and once completed, real innovation will begin. Organizations need to think about AI as a macro-level game with three key elements: foundations, transformation, and innovation.
  • It is vital that responsible AI is not treated as an afterthought, but rather as something to be prioritized and included at the beginning of the AI ​​journey.
  • By keeping responsible AI at the forefront and following best practices, companies can reduce risk and bias, protect patient data and privacy, create explainable models, and maintain transparency of AI algorithms.
  • If responsible AI is about building trust in AI systems and delivering lasting value from AI investments, how can supplier organizations achieve this?
  • Continuous evaluation and improvement is vital to ensure that people are always up to date so they can assess the impact of AI systems and gather feedback.
