“I personally would not want to have my healthcare, in some specialties, without AI because I firmly believe I will get a better outcome,” said Gianrico Farrugia, MD, president and CEO of the Rochester-based health system, according to the newspaper’s coverage of the event Jan. 22.
Mayo Clinic has been at the forefront of developing and deploying healthcare AI, with 320 algorithms in use, the news outlet reported.
“What we need to do is take a step back and create a new architecture,” Dr. Farrugia said, per the newspaper. “Shame on all of us, shame on government, if we cannot, at this moment in time, come together and create the pathways and the architecture to be able to do what we already know we can do: provide better outcomes for patients at a scale that was unimaginable a few years ago.”
He said trust in healthcare AI will be built from colleague to colleague and physician to patient, according to the story.
