Chicago, Thursday, 6 March 2025.
The AMA is enhancing its digital health leadership by implementing programs that emphasize the physician’s perspective, crucial for integrating digital solutions in healthcare.

Transformative Digital Health Initiatives

The American Medical Association is taking significant steps to ensure physician perspectives are integral to the development and implementation of digital health technologies. Through its comprehensive digital health solutions program, the AMA is focusing on critical areas including augmented intelligence (AI), healthcare apps, and electronic health record (EHR) optimization [1]. This initiative comes at a crucial time when healthcare technology integration demands careful consideration of both clinical efficiency and patient outcomes.

Upcoming Innovation Boot Camp

A cornerstone of these efforts is the AMA STEPS Forward® Innovation Academy boot camp, scheduled for March 31-April 1, 2025. The two-day intensive program offers healthcare leaders practical tools for organizational reform, with registration costs set at $299 for non-members and $179 for AMA members [2]. Under the leadership of Dr. Christine Sinsky, vice president of professional satisfaction, and Dr. Marie Brown, director of practice redesign, the program will address crucial aspects of modern healthcare delivery, including EHR optimization and team-based care approaches [2].

AI Governance and Future Direction

Looking ahead, the AMA is preparing to address the expanding role of artificial intelligence in healthcare through a dedicated webinar on AI governance scheduled for June 17, 2025. This initiative will focus on establishing effective frameworks for AI integration, emphasizing the importance of strong leadership and stakeholder involvement in developing robust policies and procedures [6]. The organization’s commitment to digital innovation is further reinforced by its collaboration with leading healthcare experts, including Dr. Margaret Lozovatsky, vice president of digital health innovations, who brings significant expertise in healthcare informatics and technology implementation [2].

Sustainable Practice Transformation

The AMA’s digital health initiatives are part of a broader strategy to create sustainable solutions for healthcare practices. These efforts aim to reduce administrative burdens while improving physician well-being across all clinical settings [4]. The organization’s approach combines practical implementation support with strategic guidance, ensuring that digital health solutions serve both healthcare providers and patients effectively [1].
