The book emphasizes practical decision-making, vendor oversight, and defensible governance rather than experimental use.
Key topics include: Privacy and data protection for clinical AI systems Patient safety risks and mitigation strategies Clinical validation and performance monitoring Governance structures for healthcare AI oversight Vendor due diligence and contractual safeguards Written for healthcare IT leaders and clinicians, this guide supports safe, compliant, and trustworthy use of generative AI in patient-facing and operational settings.
