Policies come first in data governance

Karolina Tadel of Poland's Ministry of Health discusses the country's digital health advances, including establishing e-referrals, e-prescriptions, an e-registration platform for appointments and AI-assisted radiology imaging.

Dr. Deepti Pandita, CMIO and VP of clinical Informatics at UCI Health, says healthcare organizations may not always know where every AI tool exists, making system-wide AI awareness and governance essential.

Dr. Leeda Rashid, formerly of the FDA Digital Health Center of Excellence, recommends that the federal government develop enforceable governance frameworks with oversight and accountability that cover AI tools' full lifecycles.
