Abstract

Ensuring patient safety in healthcare involves training professionals and implementing clinical decision support systems (CDSS) and health IT solutions to reduce errors and adverse events. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into health IT has revolutionized clinical settings by enabling real-time insights and personalized recommendations. However, the use of health IT can lead to unintended consequences that are not adequately addressed during training and implementation. These consequences can hinder the maximization of benefits and limit equitable access to healthcare. In this paper, we explore the impact of AI on CDSS and health IT, discuss the challenges in educating clinical informaticians, and aim to promote patient safety through collaboration with practitioners, researchers, and educators.
