AI systems used in diagnosis, triage, treatment or patient monitoring fall under the high-risk category of the EU AI Act. Healthcare organisations therefore have a double obligation: the general AI literacy requirement and additional requirements around oversight and transparency. What the AI literacy obligation under Article 4 means for a healthcare organisation is covered in a separate insight.
Developments around high-risk AI in healthcare follow one another quickly. We keep watch through the AIAdopt-built EU AI Act Monitor and work relevant changes into the healthcare modules.
AI in healthcare: high risk, high responsibility
From AI-driven diagnostics to smart scheduling systems, healthcare organisations are working with AI more and more. The EU AI Act classifies many of these systems as high-risk. That means employees need to understand how these systems work, what their limitations are, and when human judgement takes precedence over AI output.
What Article 4 means in practice for your healthcare organisation
- 1Every healthcare professional who works with AI systems must be demonstrably AI-literate
- 2Human oversight of AI decisions is required, and demands specific knowledge
- 3Patients have a right to transparency about AI use in their care pathway
- 4A certificate is your proof in an audit or incident investigation
Which modules suit healthcare organisations
| Module | Doelgroep | Duur |
|---|---|---|
| M1AI in the workplace | All employees | 25 min |
| M2Deploying AI responsibly | Healthcare management and leadership | 25 min |
| M3-ZOAI and healthcare | Healthcare professionals, doctors, nurses | 30 min |
| M3-HRAI and recruitment & selection | HR staff | 30 min |
| M4Managing and securing AI | IT department | 25 min |
Why a certificate?
The AIAdopt certificate is valid for 12 months and shows, through the learning outcomes, what knowledge a healthcare professional has gained. The EU AI Act requires demonstrable AI literacy among employees, not a specific certificate. But a certificate with clear learning outcomes is the simplest way to make that knowledge demonstrable.
