Abstract

There are many impactful applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the electronic radiology roundtrip and the patient's journey through the healthcare system that go beyond diagnostic applications. These tools have the potential to improve quality and safety, optimize workflow, increase efficiency, and increase patient satisfaction. In this article, we review the role of AI for process improvement and workflow enhancement which includes applications beginning from the time of order entry, scan acquisition, applications supporting the image interpretation task, and applications supporting tasks after image interpretation such as result communication. These non-diagnostic workflow and process optimization tasks are an important part of the arsenal of potential AI tools that can streamline day to day clinical practice and patient care.

  • Patient-centered AI systems can be more effective in improving patient satisfaction and outcomes.

    “The importance of maintaining patient autonomy is further underscored by a review conducted by Pierre et al., (2023) [40], which found that patient-centered AI systems can be more effective in improving patient satisfaction and outcomes.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
