This session, based upon thorough literature review, sentiment expressed by popular media coverage and participants’ own background and experience with ethics, will present a comprehensive overview of this emerging technology and provide thought-provoking topics for ongoing discussion. The intent is to separate the hype from the real and dispel dystopian fears to show a practical path forward, tempered with rational debate. We will clarify key terminology, discuss existing and experimental use-cases, discuss key ethical principles that need to be considered when adopting this new technology in a long-term care setting. We intend to create enthusiasm, so all participants can welcome the use of this technology without fear.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:
  • Demonstrate understanding of the core Health Care Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts and be able to leverage actionable insights to enhance patient care and safety in a long-term care (LTC) setting.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the six ethical principles outlined in the World Health Organization (WHO) guidance for ethics in Health Care AI and be able to apply these guiding principles to scenarios in LTC setting.
  • Describe cutting-edge use-cases, highlighting the ethical challenges in AI analysis and apply this knowledge to the development of relevant policy within the LTC setting.
  • Improve LTC care by utilizing AI-enhanced tools in areas such as delirium, falls, mobility, and pressure injuries.
