Our hospital is rolling out an AI diagnostic tool next quarter and the doctors are split down the middle on it

I have been a nurse for eleven years. Next quarter we are introducing an AI system that flags patients at risk of deterioration based on their vitals and history. The pitch from the vendor is that it catches things humans miss, especially during busy shifts when monitoring is less consistent.

Or when it misses something and staff assume the system would have caught it.

When an AI system flags something, someone has to decide what to do with that flag, how much weight to give it, who is responsible if it is wrong, and ho...
