Workforce Investments to Accelerate Learning Health Systems With Artificial Intelligence in Northern and Rural Settings

Dominique Cava and Brianne Wood

Abstract

Northern and rural health systems experience unique challenges and opportunities for adopting artificial intelligence (AI). An embedded AI researcher could help these systems capitalize on existing strengths to better consider AI use. This professional would collect and manage meaningful health data; bridge the gap between the health workforce and AI tools; and ensure that these tools are adapted to the specific social, economic and cultural needs in the region. Critical research and use of AI tools could advance northern and rural learning health systems to achieve better outcomes while contributing to the global AI agenda.
