Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Computer-Aided Surgery
Plastic Surgery Innovation

Background:

Artificial intelligence (AI) integration has accelerated across various sectors, including healthcare, post-pandemic.
Plastic surgery is a significant area experiencing AI-driven advancements, evidenced by numerous publications.
A comprehensive review of recent literature is crucial to understand AI's current impact and future potential in this field.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review and synthesize the literature on AI applications in plastic surgery published in 2020.
To provide a comprehensive overview of AI innovation across the entire patient journey in plastic surgery.
To identify key areas of AI implementation and assess its transformative potential.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature review adhering to PRISMA guidelines was conducted.
Databases searched included Medline, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar.
Studies published in 2020 examining AI in plastic surgery were included, focusing on clinical consultations, diagnosis, surgical planning, intraoperative use, and post-operative management.

Main Results:

Ninety-six studies were included, detailing AI's role in various plastic surgery facets.
AI applications were observed in consultations (6 studies), diagnosis/assessment (15 studies), surgical planning (17 studies), and post-operative management (15 studies).
AI also showed utility in administrative tasks and documentation (9 studies).

Conclusions:

AI demonstrates significant potential to transform patient care throughout the plastic surgery continuum.
Despite existing challenges and concerns, collaborative efforts can facilitate AI's role in optimizing patient outcomes.
AI is poised to become an integral tool, aiding surgeons in achieving superior patient care in a new era of medicine.
