?? Webinar Alert! Governance of AI in Healthcare: When Should We Move Forward With Deployment? ?? ?? Tuesday, March 25, 1-2 p.m. Pacific Time AI is transforming healthcare, but are we deploying models responsibly? Many machine learning algorithms suffer from flaws like label leakage and untested biases—yet most are never formally audited before use. How can we ensure AI supports, rather than compromises, patient care? During this event, Brett Beaulieu-Jones, PhD and Maia Hightower, MD, MPH, MBA, will share insights on AI governance in healthcare and lessons learned from a collaboration between The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and St. Luke's University Health Network. Join us to explore the future of balancing innovation with accountability, and learn when—and how—we should responsibly move forward with AI deployment in healthcare.

?? UCSF and CMSS Award Grants to Improve Diagnostic Feedback in Clinical Registries The University of California, San Francisco, in partnership with the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS), has awarded grants to medical specialty societies to enhance diagnostic feedback for clinicians. Funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, these grants will support efforts to improve diagnostic performance in ophthalmology, lung cancer detection, lupus nephritis, and pediatric conditions. Ben Rosner, MD, PhD, Principal Investigator for the project at UCSF, shared: “We are excited to support these societies with funding to turn these plans into reality. We hope that these will serve as models in healthcare for providing feedback on diagnostic performance that will ultimately benefit patients.” In addition to individual grants, UCSF and CMSS will coordinate cross-specialty learning to promote best practices in diagnostic performance feedback. Helen Burstin, MD, MPH, MACP, CMSS’s CEO and co-lead of the project, said: "It has been gratifying to see our specialty society members with clinical registries embrace new and innovative approaches to diagnostic feedback for their physician members.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gJyAHs4j American Academy of Ophthalmology American College of Radiology American College of Rheumatology American Academy of Pediatrics
