Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027) 8.07: IVD software and AI clinical use and oversight: use IVD software and AI only for their intended purpose and with evidence of clinical benefit or improved accuracy, efficiency or decision-making; train the workforce to use them, understand limitations and apply clinical judgement to AI-assisted outputs; monitor that staff stay within role and scope; define responsibility for reviewing, correcting and approving AI-assisted results within the supervision framework; communicate AI use to patients transparently where clinically appropriate without diminishing the medical practitioner's responsibility; and document, investigate and report significant AI incidents

What does 8.07 require?

Using IVD software and AI safely means confining each system to its intended purpose and backing it with objective evidence of clinical benefit or utility, or failing that of better accuracy, efficiency or decision-making; training staff to use it, to know its limits and to apply their own judgement to AI-assisted output; checking that staff stay within role and scope when they use it; naming, inside the supervision and delegation framework, who reviews, corrects and approves AI-assisted results; being open with patients, where clinically appropriate, that AI played a part in interpreting a test or writing a report, without lessening the doctor's responsibility for the result; and documenting, investigating and reporting significant AI-related incidents under the regulatory and governance rules.
