1. Where AI Adds Value Today
- Triage & routing: symptom checkers reduce wait times.
- Imaging support: models flag likely findings for radiologists.
- Operational lift: staffing, scheduling, and claims automation.
How to act
- Prioritise augmenting clinicians, not replacing them.
- Pilot in low-risk workflows first; measure time saved and error rates.
- Keep humans in the loop for any patient-facing decision.
Tip: Clinical adoption rises when AI is inside the existing workflow, not a new tab.
2. Safety, Bias, and Governance
- Dataset provenance: know where your training data comes from.
- Bias evaluation: stratify performance by age, sex, ethnicity.
- Incident response: treat model failures like safety events.
