​“AI in Action: Practical Applications for Safety Net Providers” is a monthly Zoom series, co-hosted by Center for Care Innovations the Health AI Partnership, and AllianceChicago, dedicated to exploring research and implementation of AI based solutions that address the unique challenges and opportunities within Federally Qualified Health Centers and safety net healthcare organizations, promoting equitable access and improved patient outcomes.

​Predict. Prevent. Perform: AI in Action at SCHCCN

​As healthcare continues to evolve in the age of data and innovation, the South Carolina Health Center Controlled Network (SCHCCN) is leading the way with the launch of its AI-Powered Quality Risk Model—a transformative tool designed to help Community Health Centers turn information into action. This new model harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to identify patients at higher risk for adverse health outcomes, uncover care gaps, and support proactive, data-driven interventions. By integrating predictive analytics directly into quality improvement workflows, SCHCCN is empowering their participating health centers to move from reactive care to precision population health management, advancing equity, outcomes, and value across South Carolina’s primary care network.
