With more health systems capitalizing on generative artificial intelligence, the American Hospital Association released four tips for hospitals looking to incorporate generative AI tools into their workflows.
The four tips, according to an AHA blog post:
- Take a people-first approach: The AHA recommends investing in human talent familiar with AI. Boston Children's, for example, is searching for a prompt engineer to help the hospital utilize GPT tools.
- Prepare proprietary data: Generative AI models require massive and diverse data sets to train on. Hospitals need to maintain and secure these large datasets to ensure that AI will be useful.
- Invest in sustainable tech foundation: While AI models are useful, the energy they use can be costly. The hospital group suggests providers looking to harness AI should make sure they are doing so in a sustainable manner.
- Deliver responsible AI: As with any new technology, AI poses serious ethical and moral questions. The AHA advocates for AI risk assessment and for healthcare organizations to create responsible principles.
