Policy Details

AI RMF 1.0 – NIST AI Risk Management Framework

Summary

Voluntary, sector-agnostic framework (Identify, Measure, Manage, Govern) to help organizations manage AI risks across the lifecycle. Includes core functions, categories, and informative references; supported by an online Playbook, Profiles, and crosswalks to other standards.

Healthcare Implications

Hospitals, payers, and vendors can use the RMF to structure governance for clinical and operational AI – e.g., risk registers, impact assessments, model cards, and continuous monitoring. Aligns well with health‑specific guidance (e.g., HTI‑1 DSI transparency) and can be profiled for care settings.
