Use Case
AI Prescribing Safety
Overview
System Description
AI prescribing systems suggest medications, dosages, and treatment regimens based on clinical indications, patient characteristics, and existing medications. These systems must account for drug interactions, contraindications, renal and hepatic dose adjustments, patient allergies, and pregnancy status. Clinical evaluation verifies that AI prescribing advice is safe, appropriate, and aligned with current formulary guidelines such as the BNF.

Risk Profile by Setting
In hospital settings, prescribing errors involving high-risk medications (anticoagulants, opioids, insulin, chemotherapy) carry immediate patient safety risk. In primary care, the main risks involve chronic medication management — missed interactions when new drugs are added, failure to adjust doses for declining renal function, and inappropriate continuation of medications that should be reviewed. Community pharmacy AI must catch dispensing errors and flag contraindications that may have been missed upstream.
Methodology
Evaluation Workflow
Our prescribing safety evaluation tests AI against structured scenarios covering drug-drug interactions, dose appropriateness, contraindication detection, and special population adjustments. Evaluators — pharmacists and prescribers — assess whether the AI provides safe recommendations, includes appropriate caveats, and correctly flags situations requiring human review. We test across BNF categories with known interaction profiles.
