The ADA submitted a response to the Department of Health and Human Services’ request for information on artificial intelligence adoption in clinical care. The Association emphasized that while AI offers transformative potential, its adoption in dental practices requires investments, particularly to support small and rural offices.
In a Feb. 20 letter signed by ADA President Richard Rosato, D.M.D., and Interim Executive Director Elizabeth Shapiro, D.D.S., J.D., and submitted in response to an HHS Health Sector AI request for information issued by the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, the Association highlighted the unique challenges facing rural practices, including limited technology infrastructure, workforce readiness gaps, high upfront costs and regulatory uncertainties.
