Episode notes
AI Accelerates Existing Health Goals
- AI is an accelerant that speeds achievement of existing strategic goals rather than replacing them.
- AdventHealth uses AI to boost clinical decisions, reduce provider documentation time, and improve patient value.
Development Cycles Have Compressed
- AI shortens software development cycles by helping write code, forcing faster iteration and adoption.
- Organizations must speed learning, pilot rigor, and deployment cadence to keep up.
Use Standards And Fast Risk Cycles
- Apply responsible AI standards like NIST and Joint Commission when evaluating implementations.
- Classify risk (low/medium/high) and mandate monitoring cadence to adjust controls quickly.
