Today, we at Credo AI are proud to announce that we've joined the Connected Health Collaborative Community (CHcc), a Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) initiative, convened with the FDA, to deliver safe, high-performing AI across healthcare at scale. Through the project "Operationalizing AI Governance in Healthcare," we're partnering with DiMe, the FDA, Qualified Health, and leaders across the healthcare ecosystem to build the first open-source toolkit for putting AI governance into practice.
“When harm occurs in healthcare, the consequences are human and tangible," said Dina Bam, partnerships lead, DiMe. "Governance requires structural decisions as clearly defined use boundaries, measurable performance thresholds, independent evaluation, aligned financial incentives, and explicit liability when systems fail. We are thrilled Credo AI has joined as a partner to fully capture the promise of digital health and AI to improve lives, reduce harm, and help sustain a system under extraordinary strain."
Together, this multi-stakeholder community aims to close the gap between AI adoption and AI accountability, combining DiMe's convening power and the ecosystem's frontline expertise with Credo AI's state-of-the-art Enterprise AI governance platform to ensure healthcare organizations can deploy AI confidently, safely, and at scale.
"This is a defining moment for AI in healthcare. Adoption is accelerating, but the governance to deploy it safely at scale is still being written," said Navrina Singh, Founder and CEO at Credo AI. "Credo AI has been building the operational backbone for trustworthy AI across high-stakes industries, and we are excited to bring that depth of experience to this partnership with DiMe. Getting governance right, together, is what will determine whether AI delivers on its promise to patients or stalls in pilot."
The Governance Gap in Healthcare AI
AI is increasingly becoming the expected standard in healthcare delivery and operations, but governance gaps can become points of failure. A Q2 2025 survey of more than 230 health systems found that 82% have no or limited governance processes in place for AI. The frameworks that do exist are largely abstract, leaving healthcare leaders without a clear path to manage risk, monitor performance, or integrate AI sustainably into clinical and operational workflows.
The hardest problem is what happens after a tool goes live. Most healthcare AI governance still ends at procurement, but model performance does not hold still: it drifts as patient populations, clinical practice, and data inputs change, and a tool validated at purchase can degrade quietly in a specific care setting. Active performance management is the frontier where the field has the fewest answers and where the stakes are highest.
Three specific gaps prevent safe, effective scale:
- Getting stuck in principles and pilots: without a continuous platform, pilots quickly become stale and can’t keep pace with production in healthcare
- Actionable risk mitigation: moving from high-level principles to strategies teams can actually deploy.
- Active performance management: monitoring and overseeing tools after they go live, not just at procurement, so degradation is caught before it harms patients
- Sustainable integration: embedding governance across procurement, contracting, and workforce training, including explicit accountability structures, so it holds over time.
Adoption without infrastructure creates risk — for patients, for clinicians, and for the organizations deploying these tools.
A Modular Toolkit (Not Another Framework)
Rather than introducing yet another framework, the CHcc initiative will organize and integrate existing, fragmented guidance into practical, ready-to-use resources. This accelerates value realization for every stakeholder, and partners co-create:
- Enterprise-ready risk mitigation strategies that translate abstract guidance into operational practice.
- Active performance oversight tools — scorecards, dashboards, and escalation workflows that bring accountability and transparency to AI once it's deployed.
- Sustainable integration resources — templates and playbooks spanning procurement, contracting, and workforce training so organizations can scale AI responsibly across populations and care settings.
How Credo AI
Credo AI is a leading AI governance platform that empowers organizations to adopt AI responsibly, safely, and confidently by proactively measuring, monitoring, and managing AI risks. Our platform provides a single control layer across a fragmented landscape. We translate overlapping requirements, from FDA direction to Joint Commission guidance to state and federal rules, into a single operational framework, so governance teams aren't reconciling guidance by hand every time a new tool or rule arrives.
By standardizing risk assessment, evidence collection, and oversight workflows, we let health systems evaluate and onboard new tools in a fraction of the time, so governance accelerates adoption rather than bottlenecking it.
Healthcare raises the stakes. When AI touches patient care, governance can't be an afterthought or a static checklist. It has to be continuous, contextual, and built for humans to stay at the helm. That's the infrastructure this initiative is designed to deliver, and it's the work Credo AI exists to do.
Toward Trustworthy AI in Healthcare
Most healthcare AI never makes it out of pilot, because the governance needed to deploy safely at scale is nascent. By joining the Connected Health Collaborative Community, Credo AI is helping health systems move from pilot to production faster, with trusted governance built for their specific clinical and operational needs, so AI can finally deliver on its promise to patients, clinicians, and the systems that serve them.
