"AI could revolutionize healthcare-or it could automate the inefficiency and inequality of our current healthcare system," said Dr. Ziad Obermeyer, an expert on medical AI whose work on bias in AI has been highly influential. "I'm proud to be working with the AVIA-led consortium of 20 health systems and government leaders, to help build the future of healthcare AI that we are all hoping for."
"The Joint Commission appreciates that AI is rapidly changing healthcare," said Dr. Jonathan B. Perlin, Joint Commission president and CEO. "Improving quality, safety and equity through the accountable use of AI demands a broad and inclusive perspective. We look forward to contributing to the Collaborative's work as we also learn from other leading institutions how we can best navigate opportunities to responsibly improve healthcare."
AVIA's national Generative AI Strategic Collaborative represents a unique opportunity for health systems to actively bring their voices and expertise to shaping the future of AI in healthcare-developing guidelines, actionable steps, and solutions that best meet the needs of patients and their communities.
"The response to our national Generative AI Strategic Collaborative has been overwhelming," said AVIA CEO Linda Finkel. "The entire healthcare industry-from health systems and solution companies to industry associations-is keenly aware of the magnitude of the opportunity presented by generative AI, and we're excited to welcome such an outstanding group of experts to this critical initiative."
Although pioneering research has already begun, additional advisors have pledged their commitment to developing the generative AI strategy and there is still time for additional organizations to join the collaborative.
