Jefferson Health and Qualified Health have announced a strategic collaboration centered around the development and responsible deployment of generative AI throughout Jeffersons multi, state healthcare network. This partnership leverages Jeffersons deep, rooted leadership in healthcare innovation and combines it with Qualified Healths healthcare, native, purpose, built AI platform to jointly create scalable solutions that will increase clinical support, facilitate patient access, and improve care delivery along the whole continuum.
Jefferson Health runs 33 hospital campuses and over 700 care sites. They serve communities across southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. The organization has about 65,000 employees. This includes clinicians, faculty, and staff. It is the second-largest employer in Philadelphia. Also, it is the largest health system in the region based on total licensed beds.
“This collaboration is part of our strategy to evolve care delivery through the responsible, governed integration of AI across our enterprise. By moving from foundational registry tools to agentic solutions, we are providing our care team with proactive technology that enhances quality and clinical value, said Luis E. Taveras, PhD, Executive Vice President, Chief Digital & Information Officer, Jefferson.”

Qualified Health will provide hands-on training and ongoing performance monitoring. This will ensure AI adoption improves care quality, boosts efficiency, and enhances the patient experience.
“Together with Qualified Health, we are ensuring that innovation at one of the nation’s largest non-profit health systems remains fundamentally human-centered, driving measurable improvements in both patient outcomes and workforce well-being,” said Patricia Henwood, MD, FACEP, Chief Clinical Officer of Jefferson Health.
Qualified Health will provide hands-on training and ongoing performance monitoring. This will ensure AI adoption improves care quality, boosts efficiency, and enhances the patient experience.
“Generative AI will only create real value in healthcare if it is deployed with the same rigor, accountability, and care that we expect of clinical operations,” said Justin Norden, co-founder and CEO of Qualified Health. “Jefferson’s enterprise AI strategy sets a clear standard, using AI to augment clinicians, reduce administrative burden, and improve access to care. Our role is to provide a governed platform and operating model that allows that vision to continue to operationalize safely and at scale.”
Instead of depending on standalone pilot programs, the partnership creates a synchronized, whole, enterprise strategy for AI adoption that not only balances the need for speed and scalability but also emphasizes strong governance. Qualified Healths platform allows Jefferson to go beyond siloed AI initiatives and deeply embed AI in workflows, securely manage data, monitor in real time, and have healthcare, grade safeguards, thus, enabling the hospital to deploy AI with trust and at the same time keep clinician trust and strengthen the hospital’s mission, driven commitment to patient, centered care.
