EBSCO Clinical Decisions Report: 4 in 5 Clinicians Trust Evidence-Based AI Tools, While General AI Widens the Patient Trust Gap
EBSCO Clinical Decisions announced the release of its latest research report, “The Clinician-Patient Trust Dynamic in the Era of AI-Powered Clinical Decision Support (AI-CDS).” Drawing on surveys of 1,000 U.S. clinicians and 1,000 U.S. consumers, the report identifies a disconnect between clinical readiness and patient confidence regarding AI at the point of care. The findings show that while AI-powered clinical decision support (AI-CDS) is a powerful engine for efficiency, in some cases reclaiming 10+ minutes per patient encounter, this technical gain is only successful if built on a foundation of transparency and validated clinical research. By prioritizing an evidence-based approach to increase patient trust, clinicians can reinvest their reclaimed time and mental energy into what both parties value most: human connection.

Can AI help predict which heart-failure patients will worsen within a year? – By Alex Ouyang | Abdul Latif Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health – Characterized by weakened or damaged heart musculature, heart failure results in the gradual buildup of fluid in a patient’s lungs, legs, feet, and other parts of the body. The condition is chronic and incurable, often leading to arrhythmias or sudden cardiac arrest. For many centuries, bloodletting and leeches were the treatment of choice, famously practiced by barber surgeons in Europe, during a time when physicians rarely operated on patients.
