%X The use
of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for clinical pathway management and decision making is believed to improve
clinical care and has been used to improve pathways for treatment in most
medical disciplines. Methods: A literature review was undertaken to
identify the hurdles and steps required to introduce supported clinical
decision-making using AI within hospitals. This was supported by a survey of
local hospital practice within the Midlands of the United Kingdom to see what
systems had been introduced and were functioning effectively. Results: It
is unclear how to practically implement
systems using AI within medicine easily. Algorithmic medicine based on a set of rules calculated from data only
takes a clinician so far to deliver patient centred optimal treatment. AI
facilitates a clinicianกฏs ability to assimilate data from disparate sources
and can help with some of the analysis and decision making. However, learning
remains organic and the subtleties of difference
between patients, care providers who exhibit non-verbal communication for instance make it
difficult for an AI to capture all the pertinent information required to make
the correct clinical decision for any given individual. Hence it assists rather
than controls any process in clinical practice. It also must continually renew
and adapt considering changes in practi
