A Finnish review finds significant deficiencies in how studies evaluate and report the economic impact of healthcare AI.
Key Details
- 1Few robust studies exist examining AI's economic impact in Western healthcare.
- 2Over half of reviewed papers did not frame their work as economic evaluation studies.
- 3Many AI studies lack consistent reporting, especially regarding costs and technical implementation.
- 4AI systems' complex interdependencies and ongoing maintenance needs are underreported.
- 5Authors call for unified economic evaluation and reporting guidelines for healthcare AI.
Why It Matters
Thorough economic evaluation and transparent reporting are vital for AI adoption in radiology and healthcare. Without standardized guidelines, cost-conscious decision makers cannot accurately assess AI's value, potentially hindering its uptake and reimbursement.
