AI screening of reports for hospital-associated blood clots
Newcastle Hospitals reported 56% fewer avoidable clots after introducing AI report screening
Problem
Specialist nurses manually searched CT and ultrasound reports for clots that developed after admission. This work delayed identification and consumed nursing time.
Approach
The thrombosis team worked with Solventum and the trust's digital team on automated report screening. From August 2024, the software produced daily lists of newly identified clots and a dashboard for follow-up.
Results
Takeaway
Automated screening gave nurses more time for patient care. The trust did not provide a comparison design establishing how much of the reduction was attributable to AI.
