View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Healthcare professionals express varied trust and understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for clinical decision support. Optimizing AI integration requires addressing concerns about AI
Area Of Science
- Healthcare Informatics
- Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
- Clinical Decision Support Systems
Background
- Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly used for clinical decision support, shifting from knowledge-based to machine learning-based systems.
- Understanding healthcare professionals' trust and perceived benefits is crucial for adopting AI technologies.
- Experiences with non-knowledge-based AI clinical decision support tools remain poorly understood.
Purpose Of The Study
- To qualitatively synthesize evidence on healthcare professionals' experiences with non-knowledge-based AI tools in routine clinical decision-making.
- To explore the factors influencing the adoption and effective use of AI in healthcare settings.
Main Methods
- A comprehensive search of four electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science) was conducted in June 2023.
- Included studies of any design reporting healthcare professionals' experiences with non-knowledge-based AI for clinical decision support.
- Thematic synthesis was employed following double independent quality assessment using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.
Main Results
- Twenty-five studies from nine countries were included, with a majority being qualitative.
- Seven key themes emerged: understanding AI, trust and confidence, perceived value, data limitations, time constraints, governance concerns, and collaboration.
- Healthcare professionals reported concerns about understanding AI outputs and rationale, variable confidence in AI accuracy, and differing views on AI's added value.
Conclusions
- Significant issues exist regarding healthcare professionals' understanding of and trust in AI tools for clinical decision support.
- Opinions on the added value of AI tools varied widely among professionals.
- Concerted efforts are needed to optimize the integration of AI tools into real-world healthcare settings.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
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...
Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...
Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.
Ethical Concerns in Healthcare:
• Paternalism: Nurses often encounter situations where they must act without patient consent to safeguard their well-being or prevent harm. A common example occurs in cases of...
Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:
Problem: Patient care is organized around issues identified or nursing diagnoses in the PIE system. Each problem is labeled with a "P" followed by a number....
The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and...
