Comprehensive Training in AI for Busy Healthcare Professionals
Explore our new Artificial Intelligence and its Governance in Healthcare training led by the ACHS Improvement Academy.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the healthcare landscape, from diagnostics and clinical decision-making to patient safety and governance. As AI technologies continue to evolve, healthcare professionals face growing responsibility to understand not only how these tools work, but how to use them safely and ethically.
The ACHS Improvement Academy’s new training, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its Governance in Healthcare, introduces participants to the origins and evolving applications of AI in healthcare, offering a practical understanding of its role in transforming patient care.
Why learn about AI in healthcare?
In an interview with Hospital and Healthcare, ACHS CEO Dr Karen Luxford spoke about how AI is reshaping healthcare quality and governance. Dr Luxford noted that at its current speed of development, AI is outpacing legal frameworks, ethics principles, and governance structures. This development underscores the need to continually reassess these structures so that safety standards can be upheld across all areas of healthcare.
Training in the AI space is so important. Ideally, we need to upskill people to a level where they fully understand the benefits and risks, as well as implications for areas like patient privacy. If staff only know how to operate the technology and nothing else, that is not sufficient.
Dr Karen Luxford, ACHS CEO
The ACHS Improvement Academy’s Artificial Intelligence and its Governance in Healthcare course supports this goal, helping healthcare professionals navigate AI safely, ethically and with confidence.
