The Independent highlights the NHS's groundbreaking initiative to use AI for early detection of patient safety issues, a critical step following various scandals affecting healthcare. This new AI system aims to identify patterns of deaths and injuries that may otherwise go unnoticed. Amidst a national investigation into systemic failures in maternity care, health secretary Wes Streeting underscored the importance of this initiative, promising a early warning system that could significantly improve patient outcomes and safety in the NHS.
The NHS is to use AI to analyse hospital data and sound the alarm on potential patient safety scandals early, in what will be a world-first. Patterns of deaths, serious injuries, abuse or other incidents that go otherwise undetected will be identified.
Health secretary Wes Streeting announced a national investigation into 'systemic' failures in maternity care, after families were 'gaslit' in their search for the truth.
