Policy recommendations for getting the best out of automation and AI in health care

Hardie T, Horton T, Willis M, Warburton W. (202). Switched on: How do we get the best out of automation and AI in health care? The Health Foundation.

Initially I thought the recommendations in this report seemed self-evident. For example:

  • Engage with the public….
  • Learn from research…
  • Provide funding…
  • Ensure training…

However, policy recommendations that aim to guide decision-making in health care should be sensible, and maybe even boring. Unlike software development, we can’t afford to ‘move fast and break things’. In health care, we should aim to ‘move slow and fix things’.

A list of 15 policy recommendations that aim to guide decision-making around the introduction of automation and artificial intelligence in health care. The policy recommendations are based on a report by the Health Foundation.
