    Abstract

    Although demonstrating AI’s clinical impact remains challenging, a real-world evaluation of an AI triage tool shows promise in improving emergency department efficiency and reducing racial disparities. This study reveals challenges in achieving consistent adoption across clinicians, highlighting the need for optimizing human-AI integration rather than just model accuracy.
