From Deployment to Oversight: Strengthening AI Risk Management and Patient Safety in Health Care

Clinical AI tools are increasingly embedded in care delivery, creating new opportunities to improve outcomes but also new patient safety risks that require proactive risk management. Duke-Margolis, in collaboration with the Duke Health AI Evaluation & Governance Program, is hosting a webinar to explore this issue. The webinar will describe recommendations from our upcoming white paper and policy brief and bring together health system AI leaders, policy influencers, and other experts to discuss emerging best practices and policy approaches that support effective, scalable responsible AI risk management and patient safety event reporting.
