STAT+: Coalition for Health AI will help Joint Commission write responsible AI ‘playbooks’
The playbooks are designed to create a roadmap and offer guidance for more than 80% of U.S. health care organizations and programs.
The Joint Commission, the nation’s oldest health care accreditation organization, is forming a partnership with the Coalition for Health AI to develop guidelines for responsible use of health AI, and a new certification program, STAT has learned.
The partnership brings together the expertise of the health AI industry group, which boasts 3,000 members from across the health care and life sciences industries, with the reach of the Joint Commission. The partnership will drive the development and adoption of AI best practices and guidance in “over 80% of health care organizations and programs in the U.S.” according to a statement from the Joint Commission.
“While it’s impossible to predict exactly what healthcare will look like over that time, AI’s integration and potential to improve quality patient care is enormous — but only if we do it right,” said Jonathan Perlin, president and CEO of the Joint Commission, in the statement. “By working with CHAI, we are creating a roadmap and offering guidance for healthcare organizations so they can harness this technology in ways that not only support safety but engender trust among stakeholders.”
