Abstract

Burnout and workforce attrition present pressing global challenges in healthcare, severely impacting the quality of patient care and the sustainability of health systems worldwide. Artificial intelligence (AI) has immense potential to reduce the administrative and cognitive burdens that contribute to burnout through innovative solutions such as digital scribes, automated billing and advanced data management systems. However, these innovations also carry significant risks, including potential job displacement, increased complexity of medical information and cases, and the danger of diminishing clinical skills. To fully leverage AI's potential in healthcare, it is essential to prioritise AI technologies that align with stakeholder values and emphasise efforts to re-humanise medical practice. By doing so, AI can contribute to restoring a sense of purpose, fulfilment and efficacy among healthcare workers, reinforcing their essential role as caregivers, rather than distancing them from these core professional attributes.

平衡之术:人工智能在解决职业倦怠和医护人员动态方面的复杂作用。
职业倦怠和劳动力流失是医疗保健领域面临的紧迫全球性挑战,严重影响着病人护理的质量和全球医疗系统的可持续性。人工智能(AI)具有巨大的潜力,可以通过数字抄写员、自动计费和先进的数据管理系统等创新解决方案,减轻导致职业倦怠的行政和认知负担。然而,这些创新也蕴含着巨大的风险,包括潜在的工作岗位转移、医疗信息和病例复杂性的增加以及临床技能下降的危险。要充分发挥人工智能在医疗保健领域的潜力,就必须优先考虑符合利益相关者价值观的人工智能技术,并强调努力使医疗实践重新人性化。通过这样做,人工智能可以帮助医护人员恢复目的感、成就感和效能感,强化他们作为护理人员的重要角色,而不是使他们远离这些核心专业属性。
