Course Summary

As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms healthcare operations, health information management professionals are uniquely positioned to lead responsible AI adoption. From clinical documentation and transcription to coding support, release of information, and data management, AI presents significant opportunities to improve efficiency while introducing new risks related to accuracy, compliance, privacy and governance. 

We’ll provide a practical framework for assessing AI readiness, evaluating risks and opportunities, and establishing governance structures supporting safe and effective implementation. Learn how HIM leaders can partner with operational, compliance, legal, IT and clinical stakeholders to ensure AI tools align with organizational objectives, regulatory requirements, and patient safety standards. Real-world examples and actionable strategies will help participants build confidence in evaluating and governing AI solutions within their organizations.
