The Rural Health Information Hub (RHIhub) released the AI in Rural Healthcare Toolkit, developed by the NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis in collaboration with RHIhub. The toolkit guides rural organizations as they explore whether and how to adopt artificial intelligence (AI), covering planning, implementation, evaluation, and sustainability. It includes program models spanning clinical decision support, care delivery, and operational management, as well as examples of rural health care organizations that have implemented AI.
The toolkit also addresses data governance, privacy and security, workforce training, and building trust in AI among providers and patients. It is intended for hospitals and health systems, clinics, emergency medical services, public health agencies, policymakers, and funders, and will be updated regularly as uses of AI evolve.
