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.
Half our doctors are cautiously optimistic. The other half are resistant in a way that I think goes beyond just general tech scepticism, they are worried about what happens when the AI flags something incorrectly and a junior clinician defers to it over their own assessment. Or when it misses something and staff assume the system would have caught it.
Has anyone worked somewhere that has actually deployed one of these tools? What did the rollout actually look like? Did it change how staff made decisions, and was that change good or not? I want real experience, not the vendor case study.
