At A Glance
|
A large number of healthcare employees, whether they are on the frontlines or in management, work in complex, fluid environments. They must perform a diverse number of sometimes intricate tasks on a daily basis as well as excel in handling ad hoc interactions with patients, residents, coworkers, or other stakeholders. In the coming years, these workers will also have to adjust to disruptions in their workplaces that are brought about by the introduction of new Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and health information technologies (HITs) into their offices and clinics. Many of these workers will find themselves competing for jobs not only with other humans but also with machines. Preparing Healthcare Workers for an AI-Driven Workplace helps healthcare professionals to develop their core critical thinking skills while also enabling them to develop methodologies for successfully completing complex projects by themselves, dealing with ad hoc interactions, and taking advantage of the coming AI- and IT-driven changes in their workplaces. The book begins with explaining why healthcare workers, whether they work on the frontlines or in management, need to be strong critical thinkers. It breaks down ?critical thinking? into its key elements and provides methods that readers can use to help them to master critical thinking and grow to become elite critical thinkers. The book also provides tips on how to handle ad hoc conversations with supervisors, coworkers, patients, residents, and other stakeholders. Examining how AI- and IT-related developments will transform the healthcare ecosystem in the coming years, the book identifies key mindsets and strategies for thriving in technologically rich healthcare environments.

Description
|
| Critical thinking skills and ways they intertwine with artificial intelligence (AI) comprise the primary topic of this book. It aims to provide readers information about the importance of critical thinking in planning for AI in their areas. |
|
|
Purpose
|
| The book's purpose is to ensure that direct and indirect healthcare professionals understand that AI and health information technologies will continue to transform the ways they autonomously complete their jobs. This book meets its objectives. |
|
|
Audience
|
| This book will be of interest to those seeking to learn more about how critical thinking impacts artificial intelligence. |
|
|
Features
|
| This short book addresses five key aspects of critical thinking and outlines ways healthcare workers can excel in critical thinking and reasons it is needed to succeed in the future of health care which increasingly relies on artificial intelligence. The critical thinking examples and the recap of the critical thinking features throughout the book are helpful. Some of the key aspects of critical thinking noted in the book include identifying the problem, figuring out what is important to develop a plan, and communication to team members. There are only a handful of tables and figures included, and they enhance the explanation of key concepts. Given its title, readers may expect this book to explore AI in health care. However, it discusses this only briefly; it seems a miss to not include "critical thinking" as part of the title. |
|
|
Assessment
|
| This book will be helpful to healthcare workers seeking to understand the connection of critical thinking to artificial intelligence. I recommend this book as a valuable resource to healthcare workers seeking a refresher on critical thinking and further explanation of its impact on AI. |
