The algorithm journey map: a tangible approach to implementing AI solutions in healthcare

Summary

Dr. Sendak and his colleagues at DIHI developed an Algorithm Journey Map to provide a systematic, step-by-step historical account of the multi-year journey for the Duke Sepsis Watch AI solution to be implemented in clinical care. The framework can help health systems navigate the complex process from proof-of-concept to production. This visual framework identifies key stakeholders, anticipates implementation challenges, and establishes success metrics that turn AI pilots into predictable operational successes.
