What Are We Talking About When We Talk About Information-Driven Care? A Delphi-Study on a Definition

Area of Science:

• Healthcare Informatics
• Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
• Health Services Research

Background:

• The term "information-driven care" is emerging in Sweden.
• It represents a strategic approach to integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare.
• Clear definitions are lacking, hindering consistent implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

• To systematically develop a consensus definition for "information-driven care".
• To facilitate knowledge exchange and operationalize AI in healthcare.

Main Methods:

• A Delphi study methodology is employed.
• This involves synthesizing existing literature and expert opinions.
• Iterative consensus-building among experts is central to the process.

Main Results:

• The study is currently underway, systematically gathering expert consensus.
• A clear definition of "information-driven care" will be established upon completion.

Conclusions:

• A consensus definition of "information-driven care" is essential.
• This definition will support the effective and standardized introduction of AI in healthcare.
• It will enhance knowledge sharing and practical application of AI-driven healthcare strategies.
