Overview

A regional hospital network wanted to leverage AI and machine learning to improve patient outcomes while maintaining strict HIPAA compliance. The organization needed a comprehensive governance framework to enable innovation while ensuring patient data protection, ethical AI use, and regulatory compliance.

The Challenge

The hospital network faced critical governance and compliance requirements:

  • No existing AI governance framework or policies in place
  • Strict HIPAA requirements for all patient data used in AI models
  • Ethical concerns around AI decision-making in clinical settings
  • Lack of AI expertise among clinical and administrative staff
  • Need to balance innovation velocity with safety and compliance
  • Integration of AI with existing Epic EHR and clinical workflows

Our Solution

EPC Group developed a comprehensive AI governance framework tailored for healthcare:

1

Phase 1: Framework Design

Designed AI governance framework with policies, procedures, and oversight committee structure.

2

Phase 2: Ethics Committee

3

4

Phase 4: Training & Education

Delivered AI literacy training for clinical staff and advanced training for data science team.
