Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potentially transformative force, particularly in the realm of emergency medicine (EM). The implementation of AI in emergency departments (ED) has the potential to improve patient care through various modalities. However, the implementation of AI in the ED presents unique challenges that influence its clinical adoption. This scoping review summarizes the current literature exploring the barriers and facilitators of the clinical implementation of AI in the ED.
