Abstract

BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our digital healthcare system is seen as a significant strategy to contain Australia's rising healthcare costs, support clinical decision making, manage chronic disease burden and support our ageing population. With the increasing roll-out of 'digital hospitals', electronic medical records, new data capture and analysis technologies, as well as a digitally enabled health consumer, the Australian healthcare workforce is required to become digitally literate to manage the significant changes in the healthcare landscape. To ensure that new innovations such as AI are inclusive of clinicians, an understanding of how the technology will impact the healthcare professions is imperative.
