Patient Safety and Practice Assessment
Develop a new data-collection field within patient safety reporting systems for AI-attributable events, which would include both actual harm as well as near misses. When an event is identified, a process to identify the cause and plan for future mitigation is documented. AI-attributable events are defined broadly to include not only automated or semi-automated devices, but any electronic tool that is being used to support clinical decision making.
Develop a new data-collection field within patient safety reporting systems for AI-attributable events and establish a process to identify event causes and plans for future mitigation, including the following elements:
1. Evidence of a new data collection field within patient safety reporting systems for AI-attributable events; AND
2. A protocol for identifying actual harms (and, ideally, near misses) linked to AI tool/s being used to support clinical decision making; AND
3. A protocol to ensure any identified harms (and, ideally, near misses) are mitigated in the future.
