Post deployment monitoring guidance published

We are pleased to announce the publication of: Post-deployment monitoring and safety reporting of AI medical imaging devices in clinical practice.

This joint faculty guidance contains recommended monitoring activities for clinical providers after they have deployed imaging-based artificial intelligence (AI) solutions within clinical radiology and/or oncology departments. This document provides practical, step-by-step guidance on how to undertake post deployment monitoring and safety reporting effectively, ensuring that AI medical devices in NHS radiology and oncology departments continue to support the delivery of safe and high-quality patient care.

Working party Co-Chair, Prof Fiona Gilbert, said: Safe deployment of AI is key to building trust amongst our colleagues and patients. This document provides practical steps to help radiology departments implement this new technology and put measures in place so that it becomes an integral part of our day-to-day work.

The RCR extends its gratitude to Prof Fiona Gilbert, Dr Katharine Halliday and the working party for their contributions to the development of this guidance.
