Great Britain will be the first country in the world to use a AI system to analyze hospital databases and to catch potential security scandals at an early stage, the government said.
The technology can identify abuse patterns, serious injuries, deaths or other incidents that can slip through the network.
If concerns are expressed, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will send out special inspection teams for examination, said the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs.
A flood of scandals in the NHS follows.
Last week, the Health Minister Wes Streeting announced a national investigation into “systemic” failures in the maternity provision of the NHS after families were looking for the truth “Gaslit”.
Mr. Streeting said that the hug of AI would make it easier to recognize danger signs earlier.
The new security warning system will be developed as part of the government’s “10-year health plan”, which will be announced this week.
A new maternity AI system will start in the NHS trust from November, whereby “almost real-time data” will be used to mark higher than expected rates of stillbirth, the death for newborns and the brain injury.
Mr. Streeting said: “While most treatments in the NHS are safe, even a single failure in which a patient is at risk.
“Behind every security violation is a person, a life changed, a family that has been destroyed, sometimes by heartbreaking loss.
“By taking AI and the introduction of global early warning systems, we will recognize previous signs and start quick inspection before damage is done.
“This technology will save lives and catch unsafe care before becoming a tragedy.
“It is an essential part of our commitment to move the NHS from analogous to digitally and to better supply it, safer for everyone.”
Professor Meghana Pandit, Co-National Medical Director Secondary Care, said: “The NHS in England will be the first country in the world to quickly analyze an AI-capable warning system for problems with patient safety, the routine hospital data and reports that have been submitted by health care staff from community conditions.
“The move will be the speed and efficiency with which we identify concerns about patient safety, turbo upgrades and enable us to react quickly to improve patient care.”
Sir Julian Hartley, Managing Director of CQC, said: “We will develop a stronger focus on all quality dimensions and use data that we and partners maintain inequalities in terms of access, experience and results in order to recognize and react earlier.
“We are already developing our new clearer, simpler evaluation approach, and in the future our experienced teams of inspector, which are managed by our newly appointed main inspectors, can be able to carry out more inspections and share feedback on the results faster – so that providers make faster improvements and have the public in good time information about care.”
