Artificial intelligence in healthcare: a scoping review of perceived threats to patient rights and safety.

Background: The global health system remains determined to leverage on every workable opportunity, including artificial intelligence (AI) to provide care that is consistent with patients' needs. Unfortunately, while AI models generally return high accuracy within the trials in which they are trained, their ability to predict and recommend the best course of care for prospective patients is left to chance.

Purpose: This review maps evidence between January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2023, on the perceived threats posed by the usage of AI tools in healthcare on patients' rights and safety.

Health professional's readiness and factors associated with telemedicine implementation and use in selected health facilities in Ghana.

Background: Telemedicine, which is the practice of medicine using technology to deliver health care remotely, has a low adoption rate in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, the advent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has forced healthcare systems in these settings to begin implementing telemedicine programs. It is unknown how prepared health professionals and the healthcare system are to adopt this technology.

Maternal and child health data quality in health care facilities at the Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana.

Background: The demand for quality maternal and child health (MCH) data is critical for tracking progress towards attainment of the Sustainable Development Goal 3. However, MCH cannot be adequately monitored where health data are inaccurate, incomplete, untimely, or inconsistent. Thus, this study assessed the level of MCH data quality.

Electronic health records post-implementation challenges in selected hospitals: A qualitative study in the Central Region of southern Ghana.
