AI is probably already being used in your ED, like it or not…
This article is an excellent review of the ways that AI can be used in emergency medicine. (See blue boxes in the figure below for a visual representation of opportunities for AI to augment emergency care from start to finish.) The authors note that there will always be a role for human physicians in EDs; AI can serve as an adjunct rather than a replacement for physician care. Physicians should strive to be informed leaders in AI development to ensure it is performed in a cautious, thoughtful, patient-centered manner.
