AI Policy Development

The AI Use Policy Template for Hospitals: Core Policy + Add-On Modules provides hospitals with a ready-to-complete AI use policy organized into clearly labeled sections with checkboxes and fillable fields. It guides organizations through defining how AI will be used, who the policy applies to and how to address allowable and prohibited uses using a risk-based framework. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems and technologies — ranging from predictive analytics to generative tools — that process data to perform tasks such as analyzing information, generating text or images, or supporting decisions and recommendations that would otherwise require human judgment. The AI Use Policy Template is intended as a starting point and should be adapted to reflect your organization’s specific context, needs and applicable laws.

The AI Use Policy Template is accompanied by the Companion to the AI Use Policy Template for Hospitals: Section-by-Section Guide (hereafter, the Companion Guide). The Companion Guide provides detailed instruction for completing the policy and explains the purpose of each section, why it matters and considerations for selecting among the available options. Together, the AI Use Policy Template and the Companion Guide are designed to support hospitals and health systems of varying sizes, capacities and levels of AI experience.

The AI Use Policy Template also supports rural proofing: throughout the document, specific checkboxes, fields and columns are included to capture rural-specific realities such as staffing constraints, limited broadband, smaller data volumes and greater distance to services. This allows hospitals to reflect their own rural conditions directly within the policy.

The AI Use Policy Template and the Companion Guide were developed by the Kansas Health Institute. Funding to support the development of these resources was provided by Healthworks.
