Clinicians as team leads may raise the odds AI improves care, study suggests

Over the last decade, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care has risen significantly, but AI-driven innovations in health care delivery have not fully met expectations. Research on the use of AI in health care requires interdisciplinary collaboration, making team structure and leadership essential for guiding AI-driven innovation. In a new study, researchers examined how studies on AI outcomes in health care reflect team structure and leadership. They found that team leadership was significantly associated with AI impact and that teams with clinical leadership had a higher likelihood of impact.
