Evaluating AI Technologies in Healthcare: Insights from an Analytics Expert
February 1, 2025 - 04:53
Glenn Wasson, an administrator of analytics at a prominent health system and a doctor of computer science, emphasizes the importance of a constructive dialogue between healthcare providers and technology vendors. This conversation is crucial for identifying potential risks associated with the implementation of artificial intelligence in healthcare settings.
Wasson points out that understanding the capabilities and limitations of AI technologies is essential for making informed decisions. Providers must engage with vendors not only to assess the technical specifications of AI tools but also to evaluate their practical applications in clinical environments. By fostering open communication, stakeholders can pinpoint areas where AI may fall short or introduce unintended consequences.
Moreover, Wasson highlights that a collaborative approach can facilitate the development of robust evaluation frameworks. These frameworks can guide healthcare organizations in assessing the efficacy, safety, and ethical implications of AI technologies. Ultimately, a thorough evaluation process is vital for ensuring that AI solutions enhance patient care while minimizing risks.
