A local hospital has a high volume of emergency room (ER) clients and wants to start implementing artificially intelligent (AI) robots to assist with triage. The Director of Medicine asked at a hospital board meeting, "What factors should we examine before implementing AI?" Which response would interfere with the board's preliminary work related to implementing AI in the ER? "Before looking at vendors, we should set a spending limit." "We should ask about data privacy and security collected by the robot." "There are so many vendors that we should see what each has to offer." "To identify our specific needs, we need to survey the ER staff."
"Before looking at vendors, we should set a spending limit." Although some technologies are expensive, it is an investment that may actually save money. By setting a spending limit before even looking at vendors, may restrict what could be a good product. There are many vendors on the market, so examining what each has to offer is critical. It needs to meet the needs identified by the staff. Privacy and security are key considerations with any new technology.

Provides clients with more entertainment choices. Allows clients to be more involved in their care. Permits clients to be more connected with family and friends. Identifies providers entering room. ------------ A "smart" room is an advanced collaborative, teaching, and healing environment for clients. Using sensors, providers can be identified when entering the room. Clients can have entertainment consoles with access to television, movies, video games, and the Internet. The consoles can also allow clients to be involved in their cares by accessing client education and even some of their own laboratory, radiology and other tests. Video conferencing would allow the clients to feel connected with family and friends. Smart rooms do not allow clients to administer their own medications as this time.
A newly admitted client does not speak English and has moderate dementia. Which piece of technology could assist the staff in the care of the client? Radio-frequency identification Computer prescriber order entry "Smart" client rooms Medication reconciliation
Radio-frequency identification For clients that cannot self-identify, information technology offers solutions, such as radio-frequency identification (RFID), QR codes, and barcoding identifiers. Medication reconciliation, "smart" rooms, and computer prescriber order entry would not greatly assist the staff with a client that does not speak English and has dementia.
