Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly improve patient care, enhance revenue cycle performance and streamline business operations.  While AI has the potential to transform both clinical and business operations in the health care industry, AI also poses new risks for its users in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape. Garfunkel Wild’s Technology and Cybersecurity Practice Group has extensive experience advising clients on the safe, compliant, and legal use of AI for clinical decision support, medical imaging analytics, billing and claims processing, and other workflow solutions.  Garfunkel Wild constantly monitors business and regulatory developments in AI to help ensure your organization uses AI appropriately in the health care environment.   

With over twenty years specializing in Technology and Cybersecurity Law, our team has negotiated virtually every type of technology contract and has successfully resolved a host of legal issues.  This experience reduces costs while achieving the highest contractual protections for our clients.  Our clients know that our experience helps them avoid reinventing the wheel because we have resolved similar issues before.  When problems arise, our technology and litigation attorneys work together closely to identify and preserve our clients’ rights.
