Factors in establishing trust in clinical AI
Consistency
Accuracy
Low validation burden
Human review consumes:
Time
Often several minutes per outputStaffing
Additional navigators, clinicians, or quality personnelBudget
Salary and operational expenses that scale with volume
Human review consumes:
~93 million CT scans in 2023

Validation Burden decreases when:
Extracted information is precise and complete
Findings are identified with sufficient detail to determine follow-up without re-reading the report.Clinical relationships are captured accurately
Measurements, locations, and descriptors are correctly linked to the same finding.Temporal context is interpreted correctly
Current findings are distinguished from prior ones, and change over time is understood.Outputs are deterministic and reproducible
The same input produces the same result, supporting auditability and trust.Every data element is traceable to source text
Clinicians can see exactly where information came from without manual reconstruction.
| TRANSPARENCY: | MODERATE | |
| RELIABILITY: | LIMITED | |
| TRACEABILITY: | PARTIAL | |
| EFFICIENCY: | LOW HIGH VALIDATION BURDEN** |
In scenarios where AI outputs require staff intervention:
Depending on the condition, 30–40%
