Lee Health & Artificial Intelligence

At Lee Health, we are committed to providing the highest quality of care for our patients. We are harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support our clinicians and improve patient care. AI is helping us make smarter decisions, enhance patient outcomes, and streamline healthcare processes—all while maintaining the safety, responsibility, and ethical standards that you can trust.

What is AI?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of machines or computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. In healthcare, AI is used to analyze vast amounts of medical data, assist with diagnostic processes, and provide decision support to clinicians. It is transforming the way we approach patient care, making healthcare more accurate, efficient, and personalized.

How is Lee Health Implementing AI Safely?

We prioritize safety, responsibility, and ethical practices in the implementation of AI technologies. Our team of clinical, operational, and technical experts ensures that every AI application is rigorously evaluated before integration into our systems. We have put in place strict governance and oversight to protect patient privacy, data security, and well-being. The use of AI is always designed to complement, not replace, the critical judgment of healthcare professionals, ensuring that patients receive the best care possible.

AI Governance Committee

The AI Governance Committee at Lee Health is a group of clinical, operational, and technical leaders dedicated to overseeing the ethical use of AI in healthcare. This committee evaluates and monitors all AI projects to ensure they are being used responsibly, ethically, and with a focus on patient safety. The committee also ensures that AI technologies meet the highest standards for privacy, transparency, and fairness, aligning with our mission to provide the best care for every patient.

Lee Health's AI Initiatives

Lee Health's groundbreaking AI initiatives are revolutionizing patient care, setting new standards in healthcare delivery across Southwest Florida. The health system's commitment to innovation is evident in its diverse array of AI-powered solutions, each designed to enhance patient outcomes and streamline clinical workflows. Here are some of the exciting examples:

Lee Health's implementation of Ambient Dictation technology is helping our healthcare providers streamline their workflow. This AI-powered tool automatically records interactions between providers and patients, creating accurate and detailed medical notes. It reduces the administrative burden on clinicians, allowing them to spend more time with patients and less time on documentation.

AI is revolutionizing the field of medical imaging, and Lee Health is at the forefront of this innovation. With AI-powered medical imaging, we can analyze images such as brain, heart and lung scans more quickly and accurately. AI helps clinicians detect early signs of conditions that might otherwise go unnoticed, enabling earlier interventions and more effective treatment plans.

Robotic Surgery is another exciting application of AI at Lee Health. Our advanced robotic systems, assisted by AI, help surgeons perform complex procedures with greater precision and control. These robotic systems can analyze data in real-time, offering support during surgery to enhance the surgeon's ability to perform delicate operations.

Lee Health is Committed to AI Excellence

At Lee Health, we are committed to using AI to enhance the patient experience while upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring that AI technologies are implemented safely and responsibly. Our goal is to empower our clinicians with the tools they need to provide the best possible care to you, our valued patients.

As a fun fact, this webpage was created with the help of AI! It's just one example of how we're using innovative technologies to improve both the care we provide and the way we communicate with our patients.
