Hospitals Adopt AI-Driven Near-Miss Reporting Systems

Tim McDonald, chief patient safety and risk officer at RLDatix, argues that generative AI and LLMs can automate near-miss incident reporting to improve patient safety and reduce clinician burden. He says automated transcription and extraction of voice, text, and video can increase reporting rates, enable machine-learning trend analysis, and serve as an early warning system to predict and prevent serious adverse events across hospitals.
