Clinicians' Perceptions of an Artificial Intelligence-Based Blood Utilization Calculator: Qualitative Exploratory Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

According to the US Food and Drug Administration Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, health care systems have been experiencing blood transfusion overuse. To minimize the overuse of blood product transfusions, a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI)-based blood utilization calculator (BUC) was developed and integrated into a US hospital's electronic health record. Despite the promising performance of the BUC, this technology remains underused in the clinical setting.

Objective

This study aims to explore how clinicians perceived this AI-based decision support system and, consequently, understand the factors hindering BUC use.

Methods

We interviewed 10 clinicians (BUC users) until the data saturation point was reached. The interviews were conduct
