Artificial intelligence, healthcare, and questions of legal liability

Recent studies suggest that artificial intelligence can help reshape healthcare, particularly in identifying patients before adverse events. Mayo Clinic researchers have found AI could help spot patients at risk of stroke or cognitive decline. Another Mayo Clinic study focused on using AI to identify complications in pregnant patients. Hal Wolf, the president and chief executive officer of the Health Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) told Chief Healthcare Executive in a recent interview that he sees health systems turning to AI to identify health risks earlier. "The applications for AI will help in predictive modeling of what to use, where to anticipate diagnoses, how do we maximize the resources in communities," Wolf said.
