Healthcare AI Buyer Guides

Use these guides when your team needs practical decision help before a pilot starts: what architecture choice is really being made, what to ask in the demo, and which guide matches the buyer question in front of you.

Which guide should you start with?

Start with guide 01
You are deciding whether local AI is justified at all

Read the evaluation guide when the team needs a framework for deciding whether the workflow, data boundary, and operating model justify a private deployment. Open guide 01 →

Start with guide 02
You are weighing cloud speed against local control

Read the cloud vs local guide when the steering team already knows the workflow and needs to understand the architecture trade-off clearly. Open guide 02 →

Start with guide 03
You are planning an ambient documentation pilot

Read the AI scribe safety guide when the team needs a clear test plan for clinician review, stop conditions, escalation, and measurable pilot evidence. Open guide 03 →

Start with guide 04
You are writing the AI scribe RFP

Read the RFP-questions checklist when the team needs 30 specific questions across security, safety, integration, evidence, pricing, and vendor risk — each with the red flag to walk away from. Open guide 04 →

Start with guide 05
You are sizing the dollar saving and payback

Use the interactive ROI calculator to compare labor-time value against vendor fees and against an on-prem capex + ops profile — anchored on the published evidence range (9.5% NEJM AI to ~2 hr/day vendor envelope). Open guide 05 →

Start with guide 06
You need the safety numbers in writing

Read the hallucinations-and-omissions reference for the npj Digital Medicine framework rates (1.47% / 3.45%), where the major errors cluster in the note (55% in current issues), the Whisper-layer story, and the six safeguards a safe pilot has to enforce. Open guide 06 →

Start with guide 07
You are deploying AI in a Canadian hospital

Read the Canadian compliance hub for the layered PIPEDA + PHIPA + Quebec Law 25 + HIA picture, the five AI-specific compliance pressures, the 2026 amendments, and the decision tree for which constraint binds first on your specific deployment. Open guide 07 →

Start with guide 08
Your steering committee needs the same vocabulary

Use the healthcare AI glossary as the onboarding artifact when IT, clinical informatics, privacy, and procurement need to share definitions for ~70 terms across models, retrieval, healthcare standards, infrastructure, safety, and regulatory regimes — each cross-linked to the directory page where it shows up. Open guide 08 →

Start with guide 09
You want the 30 questions buyers actually ask

The healthcare AI FAQ covers the questions a steering committee asks before signing — HIPAA, PHIPA, Quebec Law 25, hallucination rates, ROI, vendor comparison, cloud vs on-prem, and what to do when a pilot goes sideways. Schema.org FAQPage markup means Google can surface these directly. Open guide 09 →

Start with guide 10
Your IT director needs the GPU sizing

Read the hardware sizing guide for the three reference architectures (pilot ~$5K / department ~$30K / hospital ~$120K), GPU-by-GPU trade-offs, workflow-by-workflow throughput budgets, and the power, cooling, and storage assumptions that hide outside the GPU line item. Open guide 10 →

Start with guide 11
Your CFO needs the 36-month TCO

Interactive 3-year cost-of-ownership comparison: cloud vendor fees (with annual escalation) against on-prem CapEx + power + ops FTE + maintenance + depreciation. Computes break-even month and a year-by-year cumulative table. Nothing leaves your browser. Open guide 11 →

Start with guide 12
You are running a 30/60/90-day pilot

The canonical pilot playbook — three phases, weekly cadence, written stage gates, the four decision-rubric questions, stop conditions, and the one-page governance memo template. The playbook Moneli Automation uses with steering committees. Open guide 12 →

Start with guide 13
You are the privacy officer on the review

The privacy-officer-specific evaluation guide — the seven artifacts a defensible review produces, vendor attestation vs contractual commitment, the Canadian provincial overlay, the three veto patterns, and the vendor patterns that consistently produce a defensible review. Open guide 13 →

Start with guide 14
You need to decode "Epic integration"

The Epic integration deep dive — four tiers from copy-paste to full Pal-program partner, which vendors sit where, what the Pal program signals, and which questions to ask about Haiku / Limerick / In Basket write-back. Open guide 14 →

Start with guide 15
You run on Oscar, Meditech, athena, or eCW

AI scribe integration outside Epic — Oracle Health (Cerner), Meditech, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, AllScripts, NextGen, and the Canadian Oscar-Pro / Junos story. Which vendors integrate at what depth, and when the on-prem alternative is the easier path. Open guide 15 →

Start with guide 16
You are sizing the agentic-AI hype

The buyer-side primer on agentic AI in healthcare — what it actually is (assistant vs copilot vs agent), where it is safely deployable today, where it isn't yet, and the four governance controls every agentic deployment ships with. Open guide 16 →

Start with guide 17
You don't want to be the 85%

Case-study-driven analysis: five named failure cases (Epic sepsis model, COVID imaging, automation bias, vendor sprawl, data readiness) plus five patterns that decide which pilots scale. The signs to recognize at week 4-6 of a pilot. Open guide 17 →

Audience
Buyers

CMIO, CIO, digital health, privacy, and operational leaders trying to separate a workflow win from a governance problem.

Focus
Local AI

Each guide explains when on-prem or private deployment is a technical requirement rather than a preference.

Format
Checklist

Rubrics, demo questions, pilot design notes, and buyer-oriented comparisons instead of vendor marketing claims.
