Table 1 Areas of focus for AI and patient safety per RWJF conference.
From: Bending the patient safety curve: how much can AI help?
1. | Develop AI/advanced analytics implementation models, implementation approaches, and methods for integration into clinical workflows |
2. | Create a patient safety framework to guide measurement of AI impact: How to use AI to improve each dimension of safety from retrospective analysis to real-time monitoring to future use of prediction |
3. | Build an AI patient safety financial business case |
4. | Reduce cognitive and total work burden with AI which should be interpretable and usable for frontline users. |
5. | AI patient and consumer focused issues: study how patients and consumers will view and use these tools and how their use will impact patient-doctor and patient-healthcare team relationships |
6. | Create ways to engage all the relevant stakeholders in AI use and design |
7. | Develop effective governance/oversight and accountability for AI in clinical care |
8. | Develop methods to learn and loop back to adjust AI algorithms to ensure equity—refine or change for different or changing populations |
9. | Create AI to enhance adverse event/near miss monitoring and real time safety surveillance |
10. | Create Use Cases for the application of AI to specific problems in patient safety |
