25 years of patient safety: New opportunities with AI

Artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly enhance patient care by quickly synthesizing electronic medical records (EMRs) and alerting clinicians in real time to potential complications, improving patient safety. It can also help doctors make faster, more informed decisions by analyzing vast amounts of medical data and literature on the fly, which could reduce burnout and improve efficiency. While AI offers promising opportunities, deploying it safely will require proper guardrails to ensure its reliability and effectiveness in clinical settings.
