Abstract

Today, the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the evaluation of quality care is significantly transforming patient safety. The methods of AI that are used in this field, the scope of the AI applicability, and the resulting enhancement of the patient care system are also described in this paper. The benefits of using AI in cancer include the improved use of machine learning algorithms, the prediction of the ability of analytics, and the automation of tools for monitoring errors. The paper reviews existing publications, explains new approaches, shows the findings of the studies, and elucidates general directions for developing healthcare practices in the future. This systematic review, therefore, implies the improvement of Patient Safety by adopting AI in Health quality assurance
