Artificial intelligence is just as complex as it sounds. Successful deployment of the various technologies that are necessary for AI to work requires planning and strategy.. To help chief information officers and other IT professionals better understand these best practices for implementing AI at their health systems, hospitals, group practices and other provider organizations, we spoke with four experts in AI technologies who offered their advice for effective rollouts. Know and understand artificial intelligence use-cases and successes from various vendors, advised Ryan Pretnik, research strategy director at KLAS Research. "Most healthcare providers should look to find and understand use-cases in the industry and how their peers have adopted AI technology," he said. "This is a good first step, since there are many AI companies in the market that claim they can help healthcare organizations with AI. Being able to understand use-cases and their successes in the healthcare market, while consulting with clinicians internally on the use-cases, typically helps drive healthcare organizations in the right direction."
