Empowering Responsible Adoption of Generative AI in Healthcare

In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has opened new doors for innovation. This has been across various industries, including the health sector with healthcare software development services.

Generative AI, a branch of AI, is transforming healthcare by enabling new ways of creating and analyzing data, such as natural language and images. ChatGPT is a leading platform that helps healthcare providers explore the potential of large language models (LLMs) for various use cases. However, generative AI also poses ethical and technical challenges that require careful consideration and mitigation. Product leaders should assist customers in establishing clear guidelines and best practices for the responsible adoption of these technologies, ensuring quality, safety, and accountability.

Establish a Foundation for Governance?

To deploy generative AI responsibly, especially LLMs, you need a good governance framework. This will help you avoid bias and risks in your data, algorithms and people. ?

Show your customers how you use responsible AI principles in your solutions, such as diversity, equity, inclusion, human centricity, safety, trustworthiness and fairness. Explain how you ensure the quality and security of your applications and the data they use. ?

Share your best practices and lessons learned from other clients with your customers. Set up clear protocols to measure and improve the use and performance of your solutions.?

Build Organizational Readiness?

To deploy applications that use LLMs responsibly, we need to be careful about the possible risks and have ways to avoid unwanted outcomes. A key part of this is to make sure that the end users know how to use LLMs in a responsible way. LLMs are not perfect — they can have problems like bias, wrong suggestions, false or made-up outputs. We also need to watch out for the effects of less human interaction.?

Moreover, the high level and smoothness of LLMs can make them seem like they understand and know more than they do. This can lead to automation bias — the tendency to trust the output of automated decisions, ignoring important information or not using our own professional judgment, even when the system is wrong. Automation bias can have negative impacts on clinical decisions when using CDS systems.?

To adopt the LLM technology, you can offer customers training programs that cover not only the usage, but also the risks and ethics of its application. The training should be included:?

• How the LLM application works – Explain what it can and cannot do, and when and where it can be used, as well as when and where it should not be used?
• How to use the application in practice – Emphasize the human – AI collaboration and the responsibility of the user. Depending on the application, this may also include how to talk to patients about AI in their care.?
• Regulatory and ethical issues – This could include data protection and informed consent rules and how to deal with potential biases and errors in the output.?

Facilitate Value Realization?

LLMs can help healthcare providers improve outcomes and efficiency, but they also pose challenges and risks. To deploy LLMs responsibly, healthcare providers need to have a value proposition to align them with their strategic goals and measure their value and impact. They also need to consider the long-term costs and benefits of LLMs, especially for scalable use cases. You can help customers select and realize the value of LLMs by:?

- Offering tools and templates to guide the use-case selection process, such as decision matrices, risk assessment templates, ethical checklists and proof-of-concept evaluation templates.?

- Creating a value framework for your solution offerings, based on the evidence from early implementations. This should include benefit measures for different clinical and business outcomes, and cost models for different use cases and adoption rates.?

- Providing customers with structured checklists to evaluate how your solution will affect workflows and what actions are needed to achieve the desired value.?

-------------------

The responsible deployment of generative AI, particularly LLMs, in healthcare demands a comprehensive approach. By establishing governance, building readiness, and facilitating value realization, we ensure that AI technologies enhance patient care while mitigating potential risks.

Stay tuned for our next issue, where we'll delve deeper into real-world case studies and success stories of responsible AI deployment in healthcare.
