Pragmatic Artificial Intelligence Guidance for Clinicians from Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has released new guidance to support clinicians in the day-to-day use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools.
New AI tools and technologies are being rapidly developed and implemented – which can bring significant benefits for patient care but can also introduce new risks – especially as evidence of safety and efficacy may lag behind implementation.
To support clinicians meet their professional responsibilities in using AI tools safely and responsibly, the Commission has developed short and pragmatic guides on the important topics of:
- Reviewing the evidence on the efficacy of the AI tool
- Common limitations and risks of AI
- Transparency in the use of AI and informed consent
- Understanding the implications for patient information
- Understanding AI and automation bias
- Ongoing evaluation and monitoring of AI tools
