Artificial Intelligence as a Catalyst for Quality, Safety, and Value in Healthcare Delivery

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform healthcare by enhancing quality, improving safety, and increasing value. However, achieving these benefits requires navigating a complex interplay between data quality, interoperability, computability, workflow integration, and governance, as well as the need to create and sustain what have been described as learning health systems. The full promise of AI will only be realized through rigorous data stewardship, the design and demonstration of novel computational methods, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and a commitment to responsible and equitable technology implementation. Substantial work remains to address these challenges and capitalize on these opportunities, which can and should lead to significant improvements in human health and well-being.
