The digital health space refers to the integration of technology and health care services to improve the overall quality of health care delivery. It encompasses a wide range of innovative and emerging technologies such as wearables, telehealth, artificial intelligence, mobile health, and electronic health records (EHRs). The digital health space offers numerous benefits such as improved patient outcomes, increased access to health care, reduced costs, and improved communication and collaboration between patients and health care providers. For example, patients can now monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure and glucose levels from home using wearable devices and share the data with their doctors in real-time. Telehealth technology allows patients to consult with their health care providers remotely without having to travel to the hospital, making health care more accessible, particularly in remote or rural areas. Artificial intelligence can be used to analyze vast amounts of patient data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Overall, the digital health space is rapidly evolving, and the integration of technology in health

Clinicians, Advance Practice Professionals, Allied Health Professionals, and Faculty School Administrators:

This is Your Organization's Roadmap to an AI-Enabled Future


MIQ | MI10

With the advent of more advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology, there is increasing interest for executives in different organizations to initiate efforts to adopt these AI tools. There is an increasing number of “AI Maturity” models for organizations, including a few such models for hospitals and healthcare organizations. These AI maturity models, however, are usually not well suited for healthcare systems and/or are excessively tedious to use. In addition, these AI maturity models often lack an objective measurement of the AI readiness of the healthcare organization, the very important first step of a healthcare organization’s AI journey.

We prefer a different strategy: an “AI Readiness” approach and we term an objective data-based assessment the “Medical Intelligence Quotient (MIQTM)” of the healthcare organization. AI readiness is the very first and most important step of a healthcare organization’s AI journey. Just like the human intelligence quotient (IQ), this is the beginning baseline of the AI effort. In short, AI readiness assessment in the form of MIQTM is where the healthcare organization is as it begins this AI journey. In addition, as an AI enterprise, we established a data science approach to this assessment process not only for each individual hospital but also for a small cohort of diverse healthcare organizations for comparative purposes. Lastly, this assessment score or MIQTM is designed by actively practicing clinicians who are leading the AI efforts at their hospitals rather than consulting technologists or administrators who are not actively engaged in AI efforts in hospitals or health systems.
