A UVA Health emergency medicine doctor and a colleague at Clemson University have developed a framework to help hospitals integrate artificial intelligence to not only increase efficiency and cut costs but also ensure high-quality patient care remains the top priority.
With the massive potential of artificial intelligence to transform health care in the coming years, UVA's R. Andrew Taylor, M.D., M.H.S., and Clemson's Arwen B.L. Declan, M.D., Ph.D., created the new framework to ensure health care remains "rooted in its ethical obligations" to serve patients, communities and local workforces, they say in a new paper outlining their creation.
Their Total Mission Value framework arrives as hospitals face mounting pressure to adopt AI quickly, often with little practical guidance on how to weigh a tool's worth beyond its price.
Taylor and Declan have unveiled their framework in the journal npj Digital Medicine.
