By Dr. Vernette Grant, DBA, MHA — creator of the PPTO Framework (People–Process–Technology–Operations).
A fixed-scope consulting engagement for hospital leaders who need a clear picture of their current AI governance readiness and a practical starting point for stronger oversight.
Using the peer-reviewed PPTO Framework, I assess readiness across People, Process, Technology, and Operations. The engagement turns an open-ended governance question into a structured assessment, a focused gap analysis, and a prioritized action plan.
What we assess:
• Governance committee structure, authority, representation, roles, and accountability
• Pre-deployment review, monitoring, equity thresholds, and decommissioning processes
• Data provenance, explainability, audit logs, and fallback processes
• Executive sponsorship, budget, change management, stakeholder feedback, and regulatory monitoring
How it works:
1. Review current governance posture across the 4 PPTO pillars.
2. Identify maturity gaps and priorities.
3. Deliver an action plan and walk through the findings in an executive readout.
This service is designed for hospital executives, quality officers, compliance teams, CIOs, and AI governance committees beginning a governance audit or preparing for regulatory review. Broader governance implementation and team training can be scoped separately.
