AI at the Point of Care Team
AI Working Teams > AI @ POC
Goal
The AI at the Point of Care Team (AI@POC) is designed for physicians, healthcare system members, and innovators seeking to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve patient care, clinical workflow, system operations, and also reduce unnecessary costs.
01
Establish a reliable digital framework for sharing knowledge and insights between both clinical and technical experts through collaboration and active use case discussions.
02
Develop successful practices and recommendations, addressing concerns related to the development, implementation, and usage of AI tools.
03
Create a reliable mechanism to assess the trustworthiness of potential AI products, establishing a well-informed adoption across the healthcare environment. (Note: Trustworthiness is a measure of the products’ integrity, transparency, explicability, ethicality, etc.)
04
Foster communication across an open-access network of Providers, Implementors, and Innovators to encourage responsible AI adoption at the Point of Care.
