Can Artificial Intelligence Aid in HealthCare Compliance?


It seems that every week, I am asked how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be utilized in healthcare. The easy answer is in diagnostic. There are a lot of AI based diagnostic tolls ready for market. Two incredible ones are a speech bio- marker technology CanarySpeech.com . Another is NanoDiagnostics.com . You will be hearing s lot about these in the future (from me and many others) .

However, one area that you may not think of for the use of AI in healthcare is compliance. I frequently state that healthcare is the most regulated industry in the USA. It should be. Lives are at stake. So it stands to reason that with all of the inconsistencies and issues that we hear about every day regarding AI, it seems counterintuitive to suggest that AI can support healthcare compliance.

Since I am a healthcare attorney and computer science expert, I have a lot of experience in all of these matters. I can see into the future.

AI cannot replace a compliance expert in a healthcare facilities. It’s not a substitute for human knowledge, experience, or passion for compliance.

However, it can help you complete certain compliance and other tasks more efficiently.

The first issue is that many healthcare professionals and administrators do not fully understand AI. So we need to define some terms.

Generative AI is considered machine learning, meaning the technology can learn from data patterns to create new data (content) based on the data it was trained on. ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, is largely considered a starting point in the technology. The GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer.

The most important aspect of generative AI is utilizing it properly. This includes learning how to initiate prompts and knowing when you can (and cannot) rely upon it. I utilize AI every day. However, I verify almost everything (unless my function was a creative one)..
