Joint Commission announced the launch of its new Responsible Use of AI in Healthcare (RUAIH) certification.
RUAIH follows a promise made in 2025 when the company released initial guidance to help US health systems safely and effectively implement AI, which was developed after Joint Commission convened more than 20 key coalitions and groups with expertise in both healthcare and technology.
RUAIH is a voluntary certification program designed to recognize hospitals, critical access hospitals, and health systems in the US that demonstrate they have the governance, safeguards, monitoring processes, and education in place to use AI responsibly in healthcare settings.
The certification focuses on the safe, reliable, transparent, and ethical use of AI by healthcare organizations.
It does not validate or certify individual AI products or tools.
The certification standards are organized around five major areas: governance; effective data management; risk and bias reduction; monitoring, evaluating, and validating safety performance, effectiveness, and responsible use; and transparency, education, and training.
