Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Helping You Leverage AI Today
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, offering hospitals and health systems ways to enhance patient care, streamline operations, and improve decision-making. Above all, effective AI implementation requires careful planning, governance, and ongoing evaluation. HealthNET Consulting provides expert guidance to help organizations successfully navigate AI adoption from strategy to execution.
Artificial Intelligence Strategy
AI adoption should directly align with your organization’s strategic goals. In today’s healthcare environment, there are countless AI solutions aimed at improving patient care, operations, financial performance, and staff allocation. By engaging key stakeholders and applying our deep industry expertise, we help your team cut through the noise to define a focused AI roadmap—one that targets your most pressing needs and drives measurable results.
AI Governance
A well-structured Artificial Intelligence governance framework should include leadership composed of executives, clinicians, and IT. Your governing body will ensure that the AI solutions your organization adopts adhere to regulations (e.g., HIPAA patient privacy, FDA guidelines for AI-driven medical devices, etc.). Furthermore, it will safeguard data integrity and security, and ensure that AI use is legal, ethical, and includes human oversight—so AI is never autonomous.

“As a health system nursing executive, I’ve experienced the immense pressures facing providers. Artificial Intelligence won’t replace the human touch in healthcare – but it can strengthen it. By leveraging AI to enhance workflows, predict patient needs, and optimize clinical and financial decisions, we can empower providers to focus on what truly matters – compassionate, patient-centered care.”

Assessment
Before deploying Artificial Intelligence solutions, it’s critical to conduct a current state assessment. To begin, we’ll help you assess your staff’s readiness for AI technology. Next, we’ll evaluate existing infrastructure, data quality, and availability. Finally, we’ll provide an analysis that identifies risks and pinpoints areas where AI can deliver both immediate and long-term benefits.
System Selection and Implementation
Choosing and installing the right AI solutions for your organization’s needs will be vital to success. We can help you compare vendors based on reliability, cost, support, bias minimization, and adaptability, and select solutions that seamlessly integrate with your existing IT systems. We will support you fully throughout the implementation with pilot programs, current and future state workflow redesign, and staff training and engagement to ensure adoption.
Evaluation
We can also help you track AI-driven efficiencies in all areas, ensure data continues to be unbiased, adapt your AI solutions to meet new regulatory standards, and gather feedback from your staff on AI’s usability.
