Literature Review: Evaluating Healthcare Workers' Readiness to Adopt AI Technology
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Healthcare Workers, Technology Readiness, AI AdoptionAbstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has immense potential to transform healthcare services. However, the readiness of healthcare workers to adopt this technology varies widely and is not yet fully understood. Objective: This literature review aims to evaluate the readiness of healthcare workers to adopt AI technology, identify the factors influencing this readiness, and explore the challenges and opportunities in the adoption process. Methods: A literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases for articles published in the last five years. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies on healthcare workers' readiness for AI and peer-reviewed publications. Results: The review identified several key factors influencing AI adoption readiness, including digital knowledge and skills, perceptions of AI's benefits and risks, and organizational support. Significant variations in readiness levels were found across countries and healthcare professions. Major challenges include data security, integration with existing systems, and the need for ongoing training. Ethical and regulatory considerations also play a crucial role in AI adoption. Conclusion: Despite considerable interest in AI adoption in healthcare, the readiness of healthcare workers remains varied. A comprehensive approach is required, including enhanced education, supportive policy development, and cross-sector collaboration to facilitate the effective and responsible adoption of AI. Further research is needed to explore strategies for improving readiness and the long-term impact of AI adoption in healthcare services.
