CHI Health AI Roles & Interdependency Framework

Governance FrameworkVoluntary

Summary

Maps responsibilities across foundation-model and application developers, healthcare organizations, clinicians, payers, patients, and assurance bodies. Its role-specific recommendations address disclosure of intended uses and limitations, clinical validation, organizational oversight, clinician review, patient communication, and the ability to override automated coverage decisions.

Healthcare Implications

Healthcare organizations and vendors can use the framework to identify who should supply evidence, manage risks, oversee use, and communicate limitations at each stage of an AI tool's deployment. Its allocation of responsibilities adds detail beyond general AI governance principles, but creates no binding requirements.
