About the Course
Introduction
This CLE webinar will discuss defending against and mitigating the risk of claims that may arise when artificial intelligence (AI) is used in healthcare. The panel will examine novel legal issues and risks that have arisen with the use of AI in healthcare, including those related to patient diagnosis and treatment and administrative functions; address insurance coverage considerations such as risk assessment; and offer best practices for using AI in healthcare to mitigate the risk of litigation.
Description
While the use of AI in healthcare has great potential to improve medical care, it also comes with new legal challenges including the potential for medical malpractice claims where AI is involved in patient care and diagnosis, data privacy claims where medical information is used for AI training and where PHI is collected and/or transmitted to third parties for storage, and claims related to informed consent where AI plays a part in the informed consent process.
When claims result, questions may arise as to liability between healthcare providers and AI developers, particularly in relation to potential medical malpractice claims where AI makes a recommendation relied on by the provider or, alternatively, where AI makes a recommendation and the provider goes in a different direction. And with questions related to risk assessment and liability come new insurance considerations.
Listen as our authoritative panel examines how AI is being used in healthcare and the new legal challenges facing counsel and their clients. The panel will discuss potential claims that may arise from AI use, examine defense strategies, and offer best practices for mitigating the risk of claims from using AI.
