Workflow Integration and Training

This chapter provides an overview of the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) applications into radiology workflows. It emphasizes the need for a holistic implementation approach, where the anticipated benefits of AI are supported by organizational changes. The discussion begins by exploring several possibilities for enhancing radiology workflows with AI applications. It then proceeds with the technical deployment of AI, where departments and medical institutions must develop a strategy that includes choosing between on-premise and cloud-based implementations, and deciding whether to adopt single-point solutions or perform integrations through a dedicated AI platform. This technical deployment is closely linked to the scale of AI application use and the aspects of workflows that will be impacted. Furthermore, key considerations such as strategic workflow adjustments and change management strategies should be concurrently addressed with the implementation of AI applications in the clinical workflow. Finally, the chapter highlights the importance of establishing robust training programs for healthcare professionals to ensure the effective and safe use of AI applications in clinical practice.
