In a recent study published in American Hospital & Healthcare Management, Jean Jose, D.O., and a multidisciplinary team from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine presented a comprehensive framework for integrating AI into radiology practice. AI is something that is impacting every aspect of our lives, said Dr. Jose, professor of clinical radiology and orthopaedics at the Miller School and medical director of radiology at Lennar Foundation Medical Center. In medicine, its initial deployment has been most prominent in radiology.

We are tied into technology. We analyze digital images and interact with advanced computer systems daily. The research team’s work in this first-in-the-nation deployment emphasizes the critical role of human intervention, ethical oversight and structured workflows to ensure the safe and effective use of technology to improve patient health. The research team’s work in this first-in-the-nation deployment emphasizes the critical role of human intervention, ethical oversight and structured workflows to ensure the safe and effective use of technology to improve patient health. 

However, without clear protocols and human oversight, these tools risk undermining care quality and ethical standards. With no current national governance for this new paradigm, Dr. Jose and team had to create their own study boundaries. We first created language definitions and then categories,” he said. “At this point, every institution is responsible for its own deployment and governance. There’s no overarching body that says, ‘We’ve got you covered.
