‍ ⁢ ​ Updated June 14, 2025

The Joint Commission and the‍ Coalition for⁢ Health AI (CHAI) ​have announced a partnership to promote responsible ⁣artificial intelligence adoption across the U.S. healthcare system. the collaboration seeks to develop AI playbooks,tools,and a certification⁣ program,leveraging both organizations’ expertise.

With AI increasingly impacting healthcare,‌ from patient monitoring to drug approvals, the need for implementation ‍guidance is crucial. Research indicates that nearly half of U.S. healthcare organizations ⁣are⁢ implementing generative AI, and ‌that ⁤number is expected to rise.

The partnership aims to ⁣provide AI guidance to a significant portion of U.S. healthcare organizations, ensuring AI⁣ integration supports safety⁤ and builds​ trust among stakeholders. The ⁣initiative addresses the increasing ⁣role of AI in medicine.

“In the decade ahead, nothing has the capacity to change healthcare more than AI in terms of innovation, conversion and disruption,” ‍said Dr. Jonathan B. Perlin, president and CEO of The joint Commission. “While it’s impossible to ⁣predict exactly what⁣ healthcare will look like over that​ time, AI’s integration and potential to improve quality patient care is ⁤enormous – but ⁤only if​ we do it right.⁣ By working with CHAI, we are creating⁤ a roadmap and offering ⁤guidance for healthcare‍ organizations so they can harness‌ this‌ technology.”

What’s next

The first guidance‌ from this partnership is expected in⁣ the fall of‍ 2025, followed by an⁣ AI certification program.
