Accuracy of Artificial Intelligence vs Professionally Translated Discharge Instructions.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Patients using languages other than English are a group at risk of poor health outcomes and encounter barriers to access of translated written materials. Although artificial intelligence (AI) may offer an opportunity to improve access, few studies have evaluated the accuracy and safety of AI translation for clinical care under routine practice conditions.

Objective

To investigate the accuracy of AI translation compared with professional human translation of patient-specific issued pediatric inpatient discharge instructions.

Design, setting, and participants

This comparative effectiveness analysis compared translations by a neural machine translation model vs professional translators using patient-specific pediatric inpatient discharge instructions received
