How can hospitals govern AI without building a large governance workforce?
Hospitals do not need to turn every governance requirement into a new committee, manual workflow, or permanent role. They can commission infrastructure that performs repeatable evidence, control, monitoring, and coordination functions while retaining institutional ownership of decision rights, clinical judgment, exceptions, production authorization, and outcomes.

The objective is not to remove people from accountability. It is to stop using scarce clinical and executive time for repetitive coordination and evidence assembly that governed systems can perform consistently.
- Institution-owned authority and evidence.•
- Explicit human-agent handoffs and escalation paths.•
- Automated repeatable controls and evidence capture.•
- Named owners for implementation, adoption, production, and outcomes.•
- Independent verification and periodic governance review appropriate to change.•
Workforce-centric governance adds coordination capacity. Infrastructure-centric governance allocates human judgment to authority, exceptions, relationships, and outcomes.
Accountable authority: Hospital leaders retain authority and accountability; commissioned infrastructure performs repeatable governance work within the authorized remit.
