Literature Review Highlights Gaps in Economic Evaluation of Healthcare AI
Tags:Research
A Finnish review finds significant gaps in economic evaluation reporting of AI technologies in Western healthcare.
Key Details
- 1A literature review examined economic evaluations of AI in healthcare, revealing insufficient research and inconsistent reporting.
- 2Over half of the reviewed studies (55.6%, n=10) only broadly described methods as 'ML' or 'deep learning,' lacking system-specific details.
- 3Most studies did not account for all costs, such as integration, support, or maintenance of AI systems.
- 4There is a need for unified guidelines for economic evaluation and reporting of AI in healthcare.
- 5The article emphasizes ongoing interdependencies and evolving performance of AI systems in real-world clinical settings.
Why It Matters
Clear and comprehensive economic evaluations are essential for decision-makers considering the adoption of AI in radiology and wider healthcare. The lack of robust, standardized evaluation methods may impede informed investments and implementation of AI technologies.
