Tony Hung, Medical Oncologist and Clinical Informatics Executive at Hartford HealthCare, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“AI won’t transform healthcare by itself – it takes vision, trust, and leadership.
Shout out to Dr. Barry Stein, MD, MBA, Chief Clinical Innovation Officer at Hartford HealthCare, for laying out a powerful framework on how health systems can adopt AI safely and effectively.
His Six Pillars of AI in Healthcare move us beyond hype into real-world impact:
- Ecosystem – partnering with the best and brightest (MIT, Oxford, Google, Amazon, innovative startups)
- Portfolio – rigorous testing and validation before deployment
- Governance – ensuring safety, ethics, and regulatory compliance
- Education – equipping clinicians with the knowledge to use AI responsibly
- Integration – embedding AI seamlessly into workflows
- Data – balancing privacy with innovation for meaningful outcomes
This framework reminds us that AI isn’t about replacing clinicians – it’s about creating smarter, safer, and more equitable care for every patient.
If you could add a 7th pillar for AI in healthcare, what would it be?”
