By Dr. Vernette Grant, DBA, MHA — creator of the PPTO Framework (People–Process–Technology–Operations).
A structured consulting engagement for healthcare organizations that need practical, research-backed AI governance. Built on Dr. Vernette Grant's peer-reviewed PPTO Framework (People–Process–Technology–Operations), this package gives you a working governance system designed for the realities of hospital and health system operations.
If your organization is piloting AI tools without clear governance, struggling with fragmented oversight, or preparing for regulatory scrutiny, this engagement gives you the structure, accountability, and implementation discipline to move forward with confidence.
What's included:
• PPTO Governance Foundation Session (60–90 min): Working session with your leadership team to align on scope, priorities, and your current AI governance maturity
• Governance Committee Blueprint: Charter, membership recommendations, decision rights, and meeting cadence for a functioning AI governance committee — ready for executive sign-off
• AI Risk-Tiering System: Five-criterion rubric and scoring process for classifying AI tools by risk level, so high-risk tools get the oversight they deserve and low-risk tools don't get stuck in process
• Pre-Deployment Review Workflow: Step-by-step review process with approval criteria, escalation paths, and documentation templates for every AI tool entering your environment
• Equity & Monitoring Protocol: Bias detection thresholds, ongoing monitoring requirements, and decommissioning triggers — built around the principle that governance must protect patients, not just processes
• Implementation Roadmap: 90-day phased timeline with owner assignments, milestones, and success metrics your board can track
• Executive Readout Session: Presentation of findings and the governance system to your leadership team, with Q&A
Deliverables:
• Customized versions of all governance templates, branded for your organization
• Implementation playbook with step-by-step guidance for your team
• Executive summary presentation for board or C-suite reporting
• 30 days of follow-up support for implementation questions
Format & timeline:
Engagement runs 3–4 weeks from kickoff. Includes 2–3 virtual working sessions with your team plus offline analysis and deliverable development. All work is conducted remotely. This is a working engagement, not a workshop — you'll leave with an operational governance system, not just recommendations.
Who this is for:
Hospital and health system executives, quality and compliance officers, CIOs, and AI governance committees that need a functional governance system fast. Ideal for organizations piloting AI tools, responding to regulatory pressure, or scaling from ad-hoc oversight to enterprise governance.
