British journal of nursing (Mark Allen Publishing)
, Lecturer in Law, Birmingham Law School, University of Birmingham, discusses some recent reports on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in the context of law, ethics and patient safety.

Categorising patient concerns using natural language processing techniques.

BMJ health & care informatics
OBJECTIVES: Patient feedback is critical to identify and resolve patient safety and experience issues in healthcare systems. However, large volumes of unstructured text data can pose problems for manual (human) analysis. This study reports the result...

Patient safety and quality improvement: Ethical principles for a regulatory approach to bias in healthcare machine learning.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
Accumulating evidence demonstrates the impact of bias that reflects social inequality on the performance of machine learning (ML) models in health care. Given their intended placement within healthcare decision making more broadly, ML tools require a...

A machine learning-based clinical decision support system to identify prescriptions with a high risk of medication error.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: To improve patient safety and clinical outcomes by reducing the risk of prescribing errors, we tested the accuracy of a hybrid clinical decision support system in prioritizing prescription checks.

Can Unified Medical Language System-based semantic representation improve automated identification of patient safety incident reports by type and severity?

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: The study sought to evaluate the feasibility of using Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) semantic features for automated identification of reports about patient safety incidents by type and severity.

Comparison of Machine Learning Algorithms for Classifying Adverse-Event Related 30-Day Hospital Readmissions: Potential Implications for Patient Safety.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Studies in the last decade have focused on identifying patients at risk of readmission using predictive models, in an objective to decrease costs to the healthcare system. However, real-time models specifically identifying readmissions related to hos...

Development of an Alarm Algorithm, With Nanotechnology Multimodal Sensor, to Predict Impending Infusion Failure and Improve Safety of Peripheral Intravenous Catheters in Neonates.

Advances in neonatal care : official journal of the National Association of Neonatal Nurses
BACKGROUND: Peripheral intravenous catheters connected to an infusion pump are necessary for the delivery of fluids, nutrition, and medications to hospitalized neonates but are not without complications. These adverse events contribute to hospital-ac...

Introducing artificial intelligence in acute psychiatric inpatient care: qualitative study of its use to conduct nursing observations.

Evidence-based mental health
BACKGROUND: All patients admitted to an acute inpatient mental health unit must have nursing observations carried out at night either hourly or every 15 minutes, to ascertain that they are safe and breathing. However, while this practice ensures pati...
