Though AI is making good on its promises to improve clinician well-being, expand clinical capacity and support clinical decision-making, adoption is outpacing health systems' readiness to integrate these tools.
Most healthcare professionals (72%) turn to personal AI tools when the options provided by their health systems don't meet their needs, according to a report from Royal Philips.
The report revealed the extent to which AI is reshaping clinical workflows.
About 52% of healthcare professionals use AI to transcribe notes, 46% as a 'buddy' to discuss work-related ideas, 45% to suggest diagnoses based on patient symptoms and 44% to identify dangerous drug combinations.
Further, healthcare professionals point to gaps in training for AI utilization. Most (77%) said training for AI-enabled tools is unavailable, limited or inconsistent.
They highlighted the urgent need for support in checking the accuracy of AI recommendations (63%), developing technical navigation skills (53%) and understanding legal liability (52%).
