The potential of artificial intelligence to improve patient safety: a scoping review

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a valuable tool that could be used to improve the safety of care. Major adverse events in healthcare include: healthcare-associated infections, adverse drug events, venous thromboembolism, surgical complications, pressure ulcers, falls, decompensation...

The objective of this scoping review was to summarize the relevant literature and evaluate the potential of AI to improve patient safety in these eight harm domains.

The scoping review identified studies that described the application of AI for prediction, prevention, or early detection of adverse events in each of the harm domains.

There are significant opportunities to leverage AI and novel data sources to reduce the frequency of harm across all domains.
