From: The health technology assessment in the artificial intelligence era: the AI surgical department
Figure 1. The AI Surgical Department is how healthcare professionals evaluate, implement, and supervise the use of AI systems in the perioperative period. On the one hand, healthcare professionals act as the link between the clinical reality and the technology; on the other hand, technical and legal figures provide support to physicians for the correct use and ensure compliance with current regulations during the implementation of the technology. Of particular importance is the medico-legal staff, including both the medico-legal unit and the members of the ethics committee, who are responsible for providing guidelines on the correct observance of informed consent, broader data protection, and support for medico-legal litigation.
