This bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to study how artificial intelligence can improve administrative tasks in health care while protecting patient privacy. The study—due within 18 months of the bill's enactment—will examine AI strategies for reducing burdens like scheduling, claims processing, prior authorization, and documentation, while also evaluating how AI can secure patient data against cyberattacks and comply with privacy regulations. The Secretary must consult with a range of stakeholders including hospitals, AI developers, privacy experts, and civil rights organizations to develop comprehensive findings. Within six months of completing the study, HHS must report to Congress with recommendations for future research, pilot programs, and policy options for overseeing AI deployment in health care settings. The bill aims to address health care provider burnout and rising administrative costs by identifying promising AI applications while establishing safeguards for patient information.
