Summary
Patrick McGill, MD, Chief Transformation Officer at Community Health Network (CHN), underscores the necessity of establishing governance frameworks early in the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) within health systems to enhance effectiveness and mitigate bias. CHN is forming an executive steering committee comprised of leaders from finance, clinical operations, and IT to oversee AI initiatives, prioritize projects, and enforce policies aimed at responsible AI use. The health system is currently utilizing AI tools to reduce administrative burdens on clinicians, partnering with DAX Copilot for improved documentation efficiency and using Secure GPT to streamline access to clinical information.
