As health care organizations enter 2026, artificial intelligence is moving from experimental to core infrastructure across clinical, operational and administrative functions. A recent article from Becker’s Hospital Review explores how the AI conversation is expected to change in the year ahead, with leaders predicting deeper integration into workflows, greater emphasis on transparency and governance and growing expectations from both clinicians and patients.
As this shift accelerates in 2026, URAC’s Health Care AI Accreditation provides a trusted, standards-based framework to support safe, ethical and transparent AI use in health care. The accreditation, developed with input from health care, technology and patient safety experts, helps organizations demonstrate responsible governance and meaningful human oversight, offering confidence as innovation continues to move faster than regulation.
