About
Jason Franks
VP of Information Technology and AI · Healthcare · Tennessee
Jason Franks leads IT and AI for a major U.S. healthcare organization, where he's responsible for the systems that hundreds of clinicians and operations staff depend on every day — and for the AI capabilities being woven into all of them.
He built the CLEAR Framework because the playbooks he inherited weren't built for the speed, ambiguity, and risk profile of GenAI. The two-lane intake model, the Center of Excellence charter, the risk scorecard — all of it started as internal tools to keep the business moving without breaking the controls auditors depend on.
He writes and speaks for practitioners — the people accountable for actually shipping AI safely inside regulated environments, not the people summarizing the topic from the outside.
