AI & EHR Deployment in Healthcare An Independent Research Study  Dr Desmond Omadoye, DBA · Health IT Consultant

CONSENT & CONTEXT

Strong — I follow developments closely and feel confident advising others

Reasonable — I know the basics and can follow most conversations about it

Limited — I hear about it but find it hard to separate what is real from the hype

Overwhelming — there is too much information and I am not sure where to start

Very little — it is largely unfamiliar territory for me

Not at all — I feel on top of it and engaged with the developments

Slightly — I keep up but it takes effort

Moderately — I feel behind and I know it

Very overwhelmed — the pace is too fast and I do not know where to focus

Completely overwhelmed — I find it hard to know what to trust or act on

Exciting — I see the potential and want to be part of it

Necessary — I may not love it but I know we need to engage with it

Concerning — I have real worries about safety, bias, or loss of clinical judgement

Overwhelming — the pace and volume of information is hard to keep up with

All of the above — I genuinely feel  all of these at once

Very confident — we have governance, a clear plan, and clinical buy-in

Somewhat confident — we are working on it but there are gaps

Unsure — I do not have enough visibility to judge

Not very confident — there are significant gaps I am aware of

Not confident at all — we are not ready and I am not sure where to begin

Not understanding what AI actually is and what it can realistically do

Lack of governance, policy, or regulatory frameworks

Lack of clinical confidence, trust, or buy-in from staff

Lack of IT infrastructure, budget, or vendor readiness

Concerns about patient safety, bias, or ethics

Yes, definitely — I would find that genuinely useful right now

Yes, probably — it would fill some gaps

Possibly — depends on how it was written and pitched

Written by a practitioner who has actually implemented systems in the NHS — not a theorist

Grounded in research and evidence, not just personal opinion

Short, practical, and structured so I can read the bits most relevant to me

Covers the legal and regulatory dimension alongside the clinical and technical
