AI Innovation Lab Framework for Healthcare Organizations

This document is a guide that outlines the AI Innovation Lab framework developed by Tegria for healthcare organizations. The framework is designed to help these organizations adopt AI by providing a structured approach to evaluate opportunities, manage vendor risks, and ensure alignment with enterprise governance. Key components of the framework include use case intake and prioritization, sprint-based proof-of-concept cycles, cross-functional collaboration, governance-aligned execution, and a go/no-go decision framework. The guide emphasizes the importance of a repeatable, enterprise-ready model that allows organizations to test, validate, and prioritize AI use cases effectively. Additionally, it presents a client success case with St. Luke’s University Health Network, which illustrates how the AI Innovation Lab facilitated a governed model for AI experimentation, evaluated platform-driven alternatives, and provided clear investment decisions. The document aims to assist healthcare leaders in navigating the complexities of AI adoption while minimizing risks and maximizing value.
