Purpose and goal
The aim is to implement an AI-based decision support tool, including an IT solution for automated data import, into routine care at three emergency departments in Skåne. The goal is to improve the management of chest pain patients, reduce unnecessary admissions, and promote equitable healthcare.
Expected effects and result
Expected outcomes include improved clinical decisions, shorter hospital stays, reduced ED workload, and more equitable care. The project aims to demonstrate the tool’s value for patients, healthcare staff, and the system overall.
Planned approach and implementation
The project includes user interface testing, information and training campaigns for ED staff, technical testing, launch and operation of the tool, followed by an evaluation of its implementation and use in clinical practice.
