Study: Doctors and nurses outperform AI in prioritizing emergency room patients

AI tools are less accurate than doctors and nurses in prioritizing emergency room patients, a new study found. The research presented at a European conference showed AI had a 50.4% accuracy rate compared to 65.5% for nurses and 70.6% for doctors in classifying patient urgency. While AI may assist with identifying critical cases, human oversight is crucial to prevent inefficiencies and ensure proper patient care.
