Anne speaks about the role that digital, data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play in improving patient safety. She reflects on her clinical role and why – at a time where quality, safety and performance are inseparable from data – board members and senior leaders have a responsibility to lead on this agenda, regardless of their digital experience. Anne shares how leaders can ask the right questions of their teams, and warns against having blind trust in AI.
