Build a Trusted Data Foundation for AI in Healthcare

Key Takeaways

  • MIT finds 95% of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) fails. McKinsey confirms that AI in healthcare data quality is the top barrier, not the models.
  • You can't rely on raw data alone. Trusted AI requires semantic grounding, normalization, value sets, and governed clinical logic.
  • Wolters Kluwer helps organizations build a secure data foundation to improve patient outcomes and navigate complex healthcare regulations.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, but the biggest barrier to healthcare adoption isn't technology. It's a lack of trust. Watch our on-demand webinar to learn how data scientists and engineers can secure their pipelines and prepare their data to make AI reliable, compliant, and safe. 

Why your organization needs a data foundation for AI 

Healthcare stakeholders are racing to deploy artificial intelligence. Yet, 95 percent of generative AI initiatives fail to deliver measurable value. The core problem isn't the models themselves. The failure stems from inconsistent data meaning and poor data quality. To overcome these barriers, you must establish a robust data foundation for AI. This on-demand webinar explores how you can move from models to meaning, ensuring your artificial intelligence initiatives are secure, efficient, and fully compliant with industry regulations.

Essential insights for improving healthcare data quality in AI

Overcome adoption barriers with explainable AI 

Discover how to bridge the trust gap by creating transparent models. We'll show you how to build AI that clinicians and risk leaders can confidently rely on for patient care.

Master semantic grounding and normalization

Learn the critical role of data quality, semantic grounding, normalization, and value sets. You'll understand how to standardize fragmented electronic medical record data so your models can process real-time insights without making dangerous assumptions.

Ensure safety and reliability at scale 

Understand how to ensure your AI is reliable, safe, and understandable. By integrating governed clinical logic, you can protect sensitive patient data and maintain strict regulatory adherence.

Learn from real-world AI failures 

Gain insights into real-world AI failures and how to avoid them. We examine case studies where poor data led to incorrect clinical recommendations, highlighting exactly how a strong data foundation prevents these costly mistakes.

The cost of ignoring AI in healthcare data quality 

Many organizations underestimate the semantic readiness required to make AI work at scale. Recent industry studies and our own controlled experiments reveal the stark reality of unprepared data:

  • Data fragmentation and poor quality remain the biggest barriers to AI success.
  • Up to 95 percent of generative AI initiatives fail to reach sustained operational use.
  • In a recent test identifying undiagnosed patients, an off-the-shelf AI model only identified four out of 13 charts correctly. When we provided the model with semantic grounding and clinical logic, it correctly identified 12 out of 13 charts.
  • Nearly 42 percent of open-source value sets involve missing codes, which quietly breaks AI capabilities and basic reporting.
