Abstract
Health leaders are increasingly embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance patient care, streamline operations, and support healthcare providers. But are they truly leading an AI-capable organization-one that can harness AI's full potential and long-term value while mitigating its risks? An AI-capable organization possesses the necessary infrastructure, governance, technical expertise, and cultural mindset to effectively develop, deploy, and manage AI systems. It ensures the safe, ethical, and strategic use of AI across its operations, aligning AI adoption with organizational priorities. This article outlines the essential components of an AI-capable organization, provides a framework for assessing AI maturity, and introduces a risk-proportionate approach to building an AI tool pipeline for healthcare delivery. We explore key leadership considerations, including the decision to build or buy AI solutions, and conclude with special considerations, including the rise of Bring Your Own AI and its implications for governance and oversight.
卫生领导者越来越多地采用人工智能(AI)来加强患者护理,简化操作并支持医疗保健提供者。但是,他们真的领导着一个能够充分利用人工智能的潜力和长期价值,同时降低其风险的组织吗?一个具有人工智能能力的组织拥有必要的基础设施、治理、技术专长和文化思维,以有效地开发、部署和管理人工智能系统。它确保在整个运营过程中安全、道德和战略性地使用人工智能,使人工智能的采用与组织的优先事项保持一致。本文概述了具有人工智能能力的组织的基本组成部分,提供了评估人工智能成熟度的框架,并介绍了一种与风险成比例的方法来构建用于医疗保健交付的人工智能工具管道。我们探讨了关键的领导考虑因素,包括构建或购买人工智能解决方案的决定,并总结了特殊考虑因素,包括Bring Your Own AI的兴起及其对治理和监督的影响。
