Enabling safety-net clinics and hospitals to deploy next-generation AI securely, cost-effectively, and with clear benefits
The SafetyNet AI Alliance is a network of safety-net health systems working together to evaluate, adopt, and govern artificial intelligence in ways that improve and protect our communities. We provide end-to-end support for AI adoption, including evaluation, pilot testing, governance, staff training and more.
We are a growing coalition of safety-net health care organizations, including community health centers (CHCs), federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), public hospitals, and academic medical centers, committed to advancing care for underserved populations. Founding members bring expertise in:
• Clinical informatics
• Safety-net specific patient needs
• Digital health strategy
• AI governance and risk
Shared AI Tool Assessment
We assess AI tools collectively, focusing on technologies that can be equitably deployed. Our members benefit from pooled vendor evaluations, model procurement clauses, and shared price negotiations.
AI Policy & Governance
We provide model policies, compliance roadmaps, and governance frameworks tailored to the realities of safety-net systems, ensuring safe, transparent, and legally sound AI use.
Pilot Programs & Playbooks
From ambient documentation to language translation, we test high-value AI tools in member organizations and develop playbooks for safe, scalable adoption.
Education & Capacity Building
We train clinicians, administrators, and IT teams on AI literacy, risk management, and best practices, empowering local teams to lead safe AI implementation.
AI Experts for Your Organization
We offer on-demand expertise to design, adapt, and implement AI tools for the specific needs of each member.
