Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Healthcare Technology Implementation

Background:

  • Significant gaps between expectations and reality hinder the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based healthcare programs.
  • The Operating Room Black Box is a novel AI intervention designed to improve surgical outcomes.
  • Assessing the real-world effects and surgeon expectations of AI interventions is crucial for successful adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify barriers and facilitators to implementing AI-based interventions for intra- and postoperative care.
  • To assess the alignment between surgeon expectations and the actual performance of an AI intervention in surgical settings.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative, multisite study involving semistructured interviews with surgeons and implementation leaders at 3 academic centers.
  • 30 surgeons and 17 implementation leaders were interviewed regarding their experiences with an AI intervention.
  • Data were collected and analyzed between 2021 and 2024 to identify misalignments between expectations and deliverables.

Main Results:

  • Four major themes of misalignment were identified: AI model training needs, difficulties in data access, limited predictive ability for postoperative complications, and few academic deliverables.
  • Most surgeons had neutral (57%) or positive (37%) views of the AI technology.
  • Participant demographics included surgeons aged 35-50 and older implementation leaders, with a notable proportion of female participants.

Conclusions:

  • Successful implementation of AI interventions in surgery requires minimizing the gap between surgeon expectations and the technology's actual capabilities.
  • Addressing these identified misalignments is critical for overcoming barriers to AI adoption in healthcare.
  • This multisite assessment provides valuable lessons for optimizing the implementation of AI in surgical settings.
