The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into in-hospital clinical decision systems has revolutionized patient care, yet challenges persist in ensuring explainability, managing risks, and establishing robust governance. This conceptual manuscript proposes the explainable risk governance orchestration framework (ERGOF), a novel model designed to orchestrate risk intelligence within clinical environments. ERGOF emphasizes layered architectures that integrate data interoperability, real-time risk assessment, explainable decision pipelines, and adaptive governance mechanisms to mitigate biases and enhance trustworthiness. Drawing from theoretical foundations in healthcare informatics and AI ethics, the framework addresses key gaps in current systems, such as opaque decision-making and fragmented oversight. Through interpretive formulas for risk propagation and governance load, ERGOF illustrates how explainable intelligence can be embedded in clinical workflows without empirical validation. The model promotes seamless integration with electronic health records (EHRs) and decision support tools, fostering human-AI collaboration in high-stakes settings like intensive care units. By prioritizing transparency and accountability, ERGOF offers a pathway for sustainable AI deployment in hospitals, potentially reducing clinical errors and improving outcomes. This work synthesizes recent literature to advocate for governance-centric designs, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary approaches in AI-driven healthcare. Ultimately, ERGOF serves as a blueprint for future systems that balance innovation with ethical imperatives in clinical decision-making.
