(WVIR) - Doctors at UVA Health and Clemson University have developed a framework to help hospitals evaluate artificial intelligence tools without prioritizing cost savings over patient care.Andrew Taylor, an emergency physician and professor at the UVA Emergency Medical Center, and Arwen Declan, a clinical assistant professor at Clemson University, created what they call the “Total Mission Value” framework, a five-priority checklist designed to measure how an AI tool affects both patients and staff.“There are a lot of dimensions that really need to go into that consideration about whether that AI tool is right for your organization,” Taylor said.The framework is structured as a pyramid, with patient care at the top. It is supported by ethics, including guardrails against bias and lack of transparency, and grounded by economic sustainability to ensure a tool can function long-term.Declan said the framework gives hospital leaders a broader lens when making purchasing decisions.“That big picture that a leader can use to think about whether or not to purchase an AI product or whether or not to keep it and to look at what the impact is,” Declan said.The doctors said the framework addresses a gap in how AI tools are currently assessed. A tool that appears to save money may still introduce new risks.“It’s very possible that an AI tool will cut costs, but perhaps it also is not great for patient care. And it could be vice versa,” Taylor said.The checklist is intended to balance all variables so they are weighed evenly.“Really the tool is meant to help balance those types of considerations,” Taylor said.The framework is designed to support care providers rather than replace them or add to their workload.Do you have a story idea?
