What You Produce

Your AI Readiness Pulse Report

Every other course on AI in healthcare ends with a quiz. This one ends with a 4-6 page operational document that you authored, tied to your real organization. Something you can hand to your CMIO, your board, or a vendor on Day 1 of completion.

No competitor in this space produces a student-authored artifact. Harvard, Stanford, MIT, JHU: all produce comprehension. This course produces a tool.

What Your Report Contains

AI Inventory: every tool in use, under evaluation, or being marketed to your organization, tiered and assessed
Four-Pillar Readiness Scorecard: Infrastructure, Data, Talent, and Change Management, scored 1-5 with evidence notes
Evidence Quality Map: for 2-3 tools in your inventory, a full evidence assessment using the Clinician Checklist framework
Regulatory Exposure Summary: your applicable FDA, CMS, and state-level obligations for the tools in your inventory
Priority Recommendations: 3 sequenced actions tied to your readiness scores, with rationale

Curriculum

Three Modules. One Capstone. Zero Filler.

Every piece of content in this course feeds one specific section of your AI Readiness Pulse Report. If it doesn't build the deliverable, it isn't in the course.

Module 1 • 55 min

The Real AI Landscape in Healthcare

What categories of AI exist, which ones have actual clinical evidence, and how to distinguish validated applications from marketing claims. You leave with a clear taxonomy and a completed AI Audit Worksheet that feeds Section 1 of your Pulse Report.

Includes: Oracle Health Perspectives AI episode, Clinical Realist Podcast Ep. 1, NEJM AI analysis, and a 15-minute instructor video on the Four AI Tiers in Healthcare.

Module 2 • 70 min

The Readiness Framework

The Four Pillars of AI Readiness: Infrastructure, Data, Talent, and Change Management. You learn the scoring criteria, work through a full case example, and apply the framework to your own organization. Output: a completed Readiness Scorecard for your Pulse Report.

Includes: Clinical Realist Podcast Ep. 7, the Pillar Scoring worksheet, and a worked case using Meridian Regional Health System.

Module 3 • 50 min

Regulatory Reality

What your organization actually owes the FDA, CMS, and state regulators for the AI tools you already have deployed. Most health system leaders don't know the answer to that question. This module gives it to them, with a mapping exercise that produces your Regulatory Exposure Summary.

Includes: Clinical Realist Podcast Ep. 9, the AI Contracts framework, and the Regulatory Mapping worksheet.

Capstone • 2.5 hours

Build Your AI Readiness Pulse Report

Take everything from the three modules and produce your final deliverable: the 4-6 page AI Readiness Pulse Report. Detailed instructions, section templates, a Meridian case model for non-health system participants, and review rubric included. This is the document that makes the course worth every dollar.

Total student time: approximately 8.5 hours. Self-paced. Lifetime access.

Right Fit

This Course Is For You If…

You lead clinical operations or digital transformation inside a health system

CMIO, CIO, VP of Digital Health, Clinical Transformation Director. Your organization has AI tools you didn't procure, pilots that haven't scaled, and a board asking questions you can't fully answer yet. This course gives you the framework and the document.

You're a physician, APP, or clinical leader who needs to understand AI governance before your organization gets ahead of you

You don't need to become a technologist. You need to know what to ask, what to flag, and what your liability exposure actually looks like. This course is built for that exact position.

You work at a health tech company selling to health systems

Understanding how health system leaders actually think about AI governance makes you a better seller, a better product manager, and a more credible voice in procurement conversations. The Readiness Framework section alone is worth the enrollment.

You're preparing a clinical AI proposal, board presentation, or vendor negotiation

The AI Readiness Pulse Report is exactly the kind of document that gives you standing in those conversations. Build it once; use it repeatedly. The Regulatory Reality module is the fastest way to know what questions your legal team should be asking.

The Instructor

Sarah Matt, MD, MBA

Physician. Strategist. Former Vice President of Product Strategy at Oracle Health, where she oversaw AI and clinical workflow products deployed across 40+ health systems representing $28B in annual health technology revenue.

She is the author of The Five Pillars Framework, the diagnostic model behind the Pilotitis Playbook and the foundational logic of this course. She teaches at SUNY Upstate Medical University and advises health systems, payers, and early-stage health tech companies on AI governance, clinical strategy, and care delivery transformation.

She built this course because no one was teaching health system leaders how to govern AI with clinical rigor. Most programs teach theory. This one produces a document.

Early access at $397 closes on April 15, 2026, or when the first 30 students enroll, whichever comes first. After that, the course moves to the standard $497 price. There is no grace period and no exceptions.

Fully self-paced. All content is pre-recorded video and audio, plus reading materials and downloadable worksheets. You move through it on your schedule. No live sessions, no cohort timing. Lifetime access means you can return to any module as your organization's AI situation changes.

Yes, specifically Modules 2 and 3. Understanding how health system leaders actually assess AI readiness and interpret regulatory obligations makes you a more credible partner in every enterprise sales conversation. Module 3 on regulatory reality is directly relevant if your product touches clinical workflows or data.

Every activity in this course has a parallel track using Meridian Regional Health System, a detailed fictional case built to approximate a real mid-size health system. Students who use the Meridian case produce a fully worked example that demonstrates the methodology, which is useful for presentations, academic work, and consulting contexts.

A completion certificate is included. The more meaningful credential is the AI Readiness Pulse Report itself: a physician-guided operational document about your actual organization. That document is more defensible in a board meeting or vendor negotiation than a certificate of completion.
