Description

As AI moves into care delivery, quality, safety, and IT leaders are being asked to evaluate and sign off on technology their existing frameworks weren't built to assess. The common assumption is that this requires building an entirely new governance model -- including new standards and accountability structures -- from the ground up. This session challenges that assumption. In this session, Dr. Perez, Senior Medical Director and Head of Patient Safety at MD Live, makes the case that while AI calls for thoughtful adaptation, the fundamentals of clinical governance don't change because the technology does. Through real world scenarios, Dr. Perez shares how, MD Live extended its existing clinical governance rather than reinventing it, and how other organizations can hold emerging technology to the same clinical standards they already hold.
