The American Medical Association launched its Center for Digital Health and AI on Oct. 20 to embed physicians throughout the lifecycle of emerging health technologies.
The center aims to guide the development and implementation of artificial intelligence and digital tools in ways that align with clinical workflows and physician needs, according to an Oct. 20 news release from the organization. It will focus on policy advocacy, workflow integration, physician education and multi-sector collaboration.
Roughly two-thirds of physicians have incorporated AI-enabled tools into their practice, but one-quarter remain more concerned than optimistic about the technology’s future, citing risks related to data privacy, reliability and safety, the AMA said.
The center seeks to address these concerns by ensuring physician input in tech design and use, ultimately aiming to enhance patient care while reducing burdens on clinicians.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
