Global Adoption, Promotion, Impact, and Deployment of AI in Patient Care, Health Care Delivery, Management, and Health Care Systems Leadership: Cross-Sectional Survey
Abstract
Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into health care, offering a wide array of benefits. Current AI applications encompass patients’ diagnosis, treatment, data mining, and more to enhance patient care and quality of life. It is also democratizing access to expert support by providing timely and accurate disease diagnoses, better clinical management, quicker drug discovery, improved disease prevention, big data management, and health protection. Objective The aim of the study is to document AI adoption in health care, assess participants’ perception on its usefulness in the management of health care delivery and leadership of health care systems, and identify characteristics of early adopters. Methods We conducted a worldwide cross-sectional survey across all 6 inhabited continents using a self-administered questionnaire developed with the Qualtrics electronic data collection tool. This was piloted and reviewed to ensure completeness, accuracy, acceptability, cultural sensitivity, and relevance. Respondents were recruited by individualized email, following identification from professional associations or organizations, professional networks, and social media. Data were analyzed using SPSS (IBM Corp), with results presented as narrative, charts, and tables. Results In total, 506 health care professionals completed the survey. While 92.3% (467/506) of respondents believed that AI has a role in patient care and health care management, only…
