Newly Forming Task Forces

HTI is establishing four task forces to both provide member’s an opportunity to get involved and help achieve HTI’s mission and priorities.  Task force membership is open to HTI members.

The Technical and Clinical Standards and Guidelines Task Force will identify areas where standards or guidelines are needed to accelerate the implementation of artificial intelligence, automation and robotics in healthcare, review existing guidelines to see if changes are needed and recommend organizations that should be asked to perform the activities.  These may cover clinical practices, public policies and industry standards.  The group will not be developing their own guidelines but will identify what areas need to be addressed and what group could best provide such an effort.  The result will be published in the journal Healthcare Transformation and distributed widely.

The Ethical Practices Task Force will develop a draft statement related to the ethical use of artificial intelligence, automation and robotics in healthcare and seek other organizations to co-sponsor or endorse the statement.  It is critical to tackle this issue soon as it has already been raised in ways that may seriously impede innovation and progress.

Program Task Force provides suggestions for speakers and topics for upcoming HTI events including meetings, webinars and video casts.
