Navigating AI Integration in Healthcare: A Guideline to Dos and Don’ts
In the healthcare sector, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be instrumental in enhancing user experiences, safety, and efficiency of care. However, its implementation comes with a set of guidelines to ensure that AI serves its intended purposes without unintended consequences.
Here are some dos and don’ts based on various sources:
| DO's | DON'TS |
|---|---|
|
Enhance User Experience: • Utilize AI to improve user engagement by identifying and producing valuable content that addresses healthcare queries Involve Front-Line Clinicians: • Engage front-line clinicians throughout the lifecycle of AI implementation to alleviate the burdens they face, improving the safety and efficiency of care Ethical Implementation: • Focus on ethical AI, explainable AI, and promoting health equity to avoid bias in AI-driven decisions Establish Accountability: • Have clear accountability and liability mechanisms in place as healthcare begins its AI journey Promote Data Standardization and Quality: • Ensure the use of population-representative data with accessibility, standardization, and quality to promote accuracy across all populations Continuous Learning and Updating: • Establish a community of practice for continuous learning and dissemination of updated best practices |
Avoid Over-reliance: • Don’t solely rely on AI; it should not be seen as a substitute for human labor but rather a tool to enhance healthcare delivery Lack of Transparency: • Avoid scenarios where medical providers are unaware of how an AI tool works as it could reduce trust in the tool Ignoring Possible Errors: • Be cautious of the risks associated with AI such as errors leading to patient injury, and have remediation plans in place |
