Abstract
Healthcare administrators steer their organizations' strategic direction with an emphasis on quality, value and efficiency, aiming to improve patient outcomes and ensure operational sustainability. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force in healthcare in the past decade, with Canadian health systems and research institutions investing in AI solutions to address critical healthcare challenges. This primer delivers a fundamental guide to essential AI concepts in healthcare and provides practical guidance to prepare organizations for AI readiness.
