Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare by enhancing the quality of services across various dimensions, including safety, timeliness, effectiveness, efficiency, efficacy, and patient-centeredness. This literature review explores how AI improves diagnostic accuracy, optimizes treatment plans, and streamlines administrative tasks, leading to better patient outcomes and more efficient care. However, the integration of AI also presents challenges, such as data privacy concerns, ethical considerations, and the potential for algorithmic bias. To maximize the benefits of AI in healthcare, it is crucial to implement these technologies responsibly, ensuring that they support rather than replace human judgment. This review underscores the importance of balancing AI's potential with careful consideration of its risks to enhance the overall quality of health services.
