Latest AHA Trustee Insights Highlights AI Controversies and Philanthropic Strategy

The February edition of Trustee Insights, the monthly digital package from the American Hospital Association (AHA), includes articles on artificial intelligence (AI) and philanthropy.

There is no question that artificial intelligence will fundamentally transform healthcare. It is important for hospital or health system leaders to develop a definition and practical model for AI so the governing board is in a better position to make strategic decisions amidst many potential products and applications. The article outlines a working definition of AI, its components and controversies trustees will encounter.

Because hospitals and health systems are grappling with a prolonged period of financial vulnerability, leaders should actively explore alternative revenue sources, like philanthropy, as a pivotal opportunity. The article highlights clear levers to link philanthropy and strategy.
