As part of their commitment, the providers and payers pledged to expand their use of AI to improve care delivery, payment, equity, access, affordability, coordinated care outcomes, patient experience and clinician burnout.
The companies also are expected to adhere to the FAVES AI principles, established in the Health and Human Services’ Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Certification Program Updates, Algorithm Transparency, and Information Sharing” rule, which requires parties to work together to use AI fairly, appropriately, validly, effectively and safely.
Additionally, committed organizations will need to inform any patients or patrons when services are mostly AI-based and record any potential harms or threats posed by AI use, along with solutions.
More than a dozen technology companies, including Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI committed to the AI order in July.
