摘要

There is a burgeoning interest in harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance patient flow within emergency departments (EDs). However, this advancement is accompanied by a significant risk: by relying on historical healthcare data, these AI tools may perpetuate existing systemic biases associated with gender, age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. This paper surveys studies identifying biases in ED data, offering context for concern about these biases. These insights are valuable for researchers developing AI to optimize ED workflows while accounting for ethical considerations.
