WA Health Artificial Intelligence Policy MP 0193/25 and Standard 6.2: Clinical use of AI: staff use only AI systems approved by a relevant clinical governance body, designed for the clinical purpose and trained on suitable clinical data representative of the Western Australian population; implement clinical safety and quality policies including disclosure of AI use and informed consent; understand and mitigate the system-specific risks, use it under the right conditions, continually monitor for errors and bias and report performance issues; and ensure a qualified clinician makes the final decision, whether a diagnosis, a recommended treatment or confirmation of a consultation record, after carefully reviewing the output

What does 6.2 require?

When AI is used for clinical purposes the acceptable use conditions tighten. Staff use only AI systems that a relevant clinical governance body has approved, that were designed for the clinical purpose in question and trained on suitable clinical data representative of the Western Australian population. They implement the clinical safety and quality policies and guidelines that apply, including processes for disclosing AI use to patients and obtaining informed consent. They understand the specific risks of the system and the use case, mitigate them including by using the system only under the right conditions, continually monitor for errors or bias, and report performance issues for investigation. The final decision, whether a diagnosis, a recommended treatment or confirmation of a consultation record produced by a scribing tool, is made by a qualified clinician who carefully reviews the output before confirming it.
