Twenty HCPs saw AI as potentially safer for MLTC decisions but required trust, time-saving integration, transparent rationale, and preserved human final say.

Key findings

MLTC work meant balancing competing factors/social context, managing polypharmacy, and working beyond single-condition guidelines. HCPs expected AI to improve safety/quality but worried about harming the therapeutic relationship. Adoption prerequisites: public/patient trust, time savings/system integration, and visible rationale with experienced clinician final decision.

Methodology

Interviewed 20 HCPs (GPs, geriatricians, nurses, pharmacists) about MLTC management and used a patient case study to probe how an AI tool might change decisions, organizing themes with Buck’s determinants of attitudes toward AI.

Limitations

Interview attitudes do not measure real-world AI performance, safety, or adoption after deployment.
