AI and patient safety: Keeping journalists up to date on this dynamic topic

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to improve health care delivery but may also impact costs, safety and access. Yet many journalists lack the time and resources to explore this dynamic topic, creating a gap in expertise when clinicians, policymakers and the public need informed analysis. This project will support the creation of an AHCJ resource page for journalists that will explore how AI is transforming health care, including its promise to improve efficiency and outcomes, as well as potential risks to patient safety and increasing costs. Resources will be updated monthly and include published articles, tips sheets, data dives, live webinars and on-demand virtual trainings. 

The Center for Excellence in Health Care Journalism is the nonprofit educational arm of the Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ). It trains journalists to cover news events, trends and issues in all aspects of health care journalism. AHCJ is an independent membership organization dedicated to improving the quality, accuracy and visibility of health care reporting, writing and editing.
