The Trump administration wants to unleash AI in its quest to “Make America Healthy Again.”
HHS is asking for public input on how the technology can be more quickly deployed and adopted in clinical care settings.
“Artificial intelligence will be a transformative force for good across America,” HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill stated in a Dec. 19 news release. “We want to hear from you. Our efforts to accelerate AI adoption must be guided by the real needs and experiences of those developing these tools and delivering care.”
HHS hopes to learn how regulations can evolve to spur AI innovation while preserving patient safety, reimbursement can be simplified to encourage the use of the technology, and investments in research and development can elevate AI for complex and high-acuity clinical cases.
The agency said the move adds to its internal AI strategy, unveiled Dec. 4, to grow the technology’s use among its workforce and modernize its operations, research and public health activities.
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.
