HHS OIG Audits Department AI Governance Framework for Federal Compliance
The HHS Office of Inspector General has initiated an audit examining whether the Department of Health and Human Services has established adequate governance for developing and deploying artificial intelligence tools across its operations. The audit will assess compliance with federal requirements, including National Institute of Standards and Technology AI risk management standards and departmental policies. The review covers AI governance structures affecting HHS agencies including CMS. The audit's scope and timeline for completion have not been publicly specified.
The audit may influence how CMS implements AI tools in Medicaid program integrity, eligibility systems, and managed care oversight, potentially leading to new compliance requirements for state agencies and health plans using AI-driven administrative systems.
