Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare delivery and its use is becoming part of everyday business in general practice. Thus, its integration into general practice requires careful governance to ensure safety, privacy, and ethical use. The RACGP’s draft sixth edition Standards for general practices introduces dedicated criteria for AI implementation, focusing on informed consent, clinical accountability, and continuous evaluation.
This presentation will explore practical strategies for practice owners to adopt AI tools – such as clinical decision support systems, AI scribes, and patient engagement platforms– while meeting accreditation requirements.
Key topics include: - Governance and risk management: Establishing frameworks for safe and secure AI use, including accountability for clinical decisions and compliance with privacy legislation. - Patient-centred care: Processes for obtaining and documenting informed consent, ensuring transparency, and supporting patient autonomy - Continuous monitoring: Implementing systems for ongoing evaluation, addressing AI drift, and safeguarding against bias and inequity. - Operational readiness: Training practice teams and assessing workflow impacts. Attendees will gain actionable insights into aligning AI adoption with the Standards, mitigating risks, and leveraging technology to improve care quality and efficiency.
This session is designed for practice owners seeking to future-proof their practices while maintaining trust, safety, and compliance against the Standards for general practices.
