Artificial intelligence is already reshaping care delivery, operations, and the workforce—often faster than governance structures can keep pace. Yet most hospital and health system boards lack a clear framework for overseeing AI risks and opportunities.  This session is designed specifically for trustees, CEOs, and senior executives and will define the board’s proper role in AI governance—distinct from management— while providing a practical, board-ready approach to oversight.  Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how boards should oversee AI across quality and patient safety, workforce and human dignity, data governance, and enterprise risk, and how to align effectively with management without drifting into operations.

Attendees will leave this webinar able to:

• Ask the right questions: A concise set of board-level questions and principles to guide AI oversight
• Define roles clearly: How to align with management on risk, accountability, and escalation—without micromanagement
• Integrate AI into governance: Practical approaches to embedding AI within quality, compliance, and enterprise risk frameworks
• Strengthen board performance: How disciplined AI governance reduces reactive oversight and improves strategic decision-making
• Get started immediately: A simple framework boards can implement now
