Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy

We are excited to officially announce that Duke has elevated Duke-Margolis to a University Health Policy Institute! With this new recognition, Duke-Margolis will continue to address timely health policy challenges; amplify Duke’s collective ability to support research and education that impacts health policy locally, nationally, and across the globe; and deepen Duke’s recruitment and retention of dynamic faculty and scholars who will lead, research, and explore the most pressing health care challenges of the future.

Duke Health AI Evaluation & Governance Program’s Nicoleta Economou, PhD, and the Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy’s Christina Silcox, PhD, and Valerie J. Parker, MSc-GH, have collaborated on an important white paper, titled "AI Governance in Health Systems: Aligning Innovation, Accountability, and Trust." The paper examines the transformative potential of AI in health care and draws valuable insights from US health systems on AI governance, identifying both core governance principles and diverse implementation strategies. The paper also provides actionable guidance for health systems and policymakers on establishing and standardizing AI governance, aiming to democratize trustworthy AI across the health care landscape. The recommendations focus on ensuring that all health systems, including those with limited resources, receive structured guidance that promotes best practices, accountability, and equitable access to the benefits of AI advancements.
