Computerized records, specialist software, digital imaging and planning are becoming prevalent in oral and maxillofacial surgery – and now necessary tools for group practices. Artificial intelligence software can diagnosis pathology, plan surgery and manage practice operations including patient scheduling, billing, staff management, labor issues, marketing and payroll. While those tools have significant benefits, they also present potential liability risks for the unaware OMS. This program will analyze AI in the digital OMS practice using with case examples and offer practical tips for risk management and liability avoidance.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Understand the impact of digital and computerized tools, including AI, and appropriately prepare for and manage implementation and use by the surgeon and staff.
Recognize the benefits and risks of implementation of AI in a surgical practice and in group practices.
Implement strategies and protocols for risk management to avoid legal liability while using AI, computerized records and staff management.
