A medical algorithmic audit framework for evaluating the safety, equity, and quality of an AI Scribe tool in a paediatric developmental assessment clinic

Any tool that can reduce the administrative burden on healthcare providers while preserving safe, accountable and high-quality medical documentation is of immense value both to healthcare institutions and consumers. The key question we need to answer is whether a prospective tool can reduce these burdens while maintaining (and, ideally, elevating) quality documentation standards. The goal of this ...

Costing Methods for Artificial Intelligence: Systematic Review and Recommended Cost Inventory for in Health Technology Assessment

Economic evaluations of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare are expanding rapidly, yet underlying costing methods remains heterogenous, and frequently incomplete for health technology assessment (HTA) and policy decision-making. In our systematic review of 55 studies published between 2010 and 2025, we found that fewer than half of the studies reported explicit costing methods; most pricing...

From claims to care: Machine learning algorithm to classify urinary tract infection cases using Swiss health insurance data

To evaluate whether machine learning (ML) applied to comprehensive claims data without diagnostic codes can distinguish a high proportion of antibioti...

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Health Economy, Workforce Productivity, and Administrative Efficiency: A Systematic Review

Healthcare systems globally are under increasing financial and operational strain due to aging populations, rising expenditures, and workforce shortag...

Human Evaluators vs. LLM-as-a-Judge: Toward Scalable, Real-Time Evaluation of GenAI in Global Health

Evaluating the outputs of generative AI (GenAI) models in healthcare remains a significant bottleneck for the safe and scalable deployment of these to...

Evaluating an LLM-Assisted Workflow for Clinical Documentation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial on Time and Quality
