Revealed: The new AI standards GP practices must meet to stay accredited
GP practices must have processes for doctors to obtain and record informed patient consent to the use of AI to meet the RACGP’s new accreditation standards.
The sixth edition of the standards for general practice, published by the college today, contains a total of 86 mandatory criteria and three ‘aspirational’ criteria.
They cover the foundations of general practice, clinical governance, patient participation and continuous quality improvement — which include new topics such as AI, environmental sustainability and antimicrobial stewardship.
There are also standards for point-of-care testing for practices offering it.
