Summary
Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Health Network is focusing on the responsible integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into its healthcare practices, guided by a governance framework emphasizing Fairness, Accountability, Value, and Effectiveness (FAVE). This framework ensures that AI initiatives enhance care delivery while prioritizing safety and ethical standards. The strategy includes rigorous review processes for AI use cases, ongoing assessments of effectiveness, and collaboration with industry leaders. Successful applications include AI-driven forecasting in hospital operations, though some projects have been paused due to inadequate operational readiness, underscoring the need for seamless integration into existing workflows.
