⭐️ ANNOUNCING: The AMA Center for Digital Health and AI ⭐️ Today, the AMA is proud to announce the launch of our new Center for Digital Health and AI - designed to ensure physicians guide, shape, and implement the tech revolution in health care. Why it matters: Innovation isn’t just about technology - it’s about clinical insight. Physician involvement is key to making digital health tools truly effective and reducing burdens, not adding to them. As AMA CEO John Whyte, MD, MPH, puts it: “Augmented Intelligence will be a defining force in the future of health care, but right now we are barely scratching the surface of its potential. Digital health tools are everywhere, and the technology has limitless opportunity, but if you don’t understand clinical practice or clinical workflow, even the best tools will never be fully implemented.” The Center champions four strategic pillars: ➡️ Policy & Regulatory Leadership: Working with policymakers to set standards for safe, effective AI and digital tools. ➡️ Clinical Workflow Integration: Helping new tech fit seamlessly into patient care and support clinicians. ➡️ Education & Training: Providing physicians with resources to adopt AI responsibly. ➡️ Collaboration: Partnering across tech, research, government, and health sectors to focus innovation on patient needs. AMA surveys show physicians are excited about AI but have concerns about privacy, reliability, and safety. The Center is here to bridge these gaps - embedding clinical expertise in every stage of tech development. Together, we’ll shape a future where digital health and AI amplify physician expertise and improve patient care.

AI in Health Care: Unlocking Potential While Navigating New Risks   This week, The Guardian published a timely article on the recent JAMA Summit on AI, highlighting both transformative opportunities and critical challenges posed by artificial intelligence in health care. While AI promises to revolutionize patient care, experts are sounding the alarm on a risk that too often goes unnoticed: legal liability for medical errors involving AI.   With AI systems now integral to clinical decision-making, questions of accountability are becoming increasingly complicated. If an AI contributes to an adverse patient outcome, who is responsible - the clinician, the hospital, or the developer? Existing tort law was not designed to address the opacity and intangibility of algorithms, and this legal uncertainty could ultimately stifle innovation and adoption, even as AI continues to demonstrate immense benefits for patients.   Key questions for medical and legal professionals include:   --How can we create clear, balanced regulatory and liability frameworks that safeguard patients while enabling the safe deployment of AI technologies? --Should indemnification clauses or new forms of product liability for software become the standard? --How can we ensure transparency in AI models - striking the right balance between proprietary protection and the need for clinical clarity?   Ultimately, this is not just a legal debate - it's a matter of patient safety and the future of health care innovation. Physicians must lead this conversation to ensure AI reaches its full, responsible potential in improving care and protecting patients.   #JAMA #AIinHealthcare #HealthTech #LegalTech #DigitalHealth #Liability #Innovation #PatientSafety https://lnkd.in/gButBDvc

Recognizing and celebrating physician excellence is a growing strategy to improve well-being and engagement across health systems. How do you know when a strategy becomes one with organization-wide culture? When its success naturally inspires broader adoption and expansion. Northwell Health's "Truly Awards” program is a prime example.
