HIMSS Assessing and Implementing AI and ML in Healthcare

The HIMSS Assessing and Implementing AI and ML in Healthcare Course is a self-paced, on-demand, e-learning course tailored for healthcare leaders and professionals, focusing on the rigorous evaluation and responsible implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in healthcare. The course combines foundational AI and ML knowledge with hands-on practical examples, case studies, and interactive data modules. 

The rapid adoption of AI and ML in healthcare is outpacing the industry's ability to effectively and safely integrate these tools into clinical workflows. Many health systems are grappling with challenges related to external validation, "black box" model uncertainties, and disparities across patient subgroups. There's a critical need for structured training that empowers healthcare leaders to rigorously evaluate and responsibly implement AI/ML models, ensuring optimal patient outcomes and preserving trust. Given the potential risks to patient safety and the demonstrated discrepancies between some models' claims and their real-world performance, addressing this gap is both urgent and essential. This course addresses this pressing need, providing a structured, comprehensive, and hands-on guide to assess AI/ML models responsibly. By equipping you with the right skills and tools, we're not just ensuring optimal patient outcomes but also helping healthcare systems avoid potential pitfalls and liabilities.

This course is hosted on the HIMSS Litmos learning management system. Learners will have six months from the date of purchase to complete all course requirements.
