Coral Gables, Fla.-based Baptist Health may even require signoffs on AI-related activities and enforce consequences if they are not completed, The Wall Street Journal reported Sept. 8.

“If you put an AI in there and it works five times in a row, I can see it’s like: If you don’t double-check it, what’s the worst that can happen?” Rosalia Tungaraza, PhD, Baptist Health’s assistant vice president of AI, told the newspaper. 

Dr. Tungaraza told the Journal she trusts physicians to review AI-generated summaries of patient visits because their careers and reputations are at stake. But in areas such as operations or call centers, more protections might be needed regarding AI.

Despite the rapid growth of AI, only 13 percent of employees have been offered any training in the technology in the past year, according to data from staffing agency Randstad cited in the article.

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.
