The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) has released a new evidence-based guideline to “help perioperative teams evaluate, integrate, and safely use emerging and existing AI technologies in surgical care.”
The new AORN Guideline for Integration of Artificial Intelligence provides recommendations for how healthcare organizations and perioperative teams can “evaluate, implement, and manage AI-enabled technologies while addressing patient safety, governance, bias, privacy and security, education, and clinical oversight.”
AORN states that the guideline is “intended to help perioperative teams safely and ethically evaluate, implement, and manage these technologies throughout their lifecycle of use.” It also reinforces “how AI is intended to support clinical judgment and patient care—not replace them—and establishes parameters that align technology with human judgment and evidence-based practice.”
