Identify perceived potential benefits and harms when applying AI in the antimicrobial stewardship cycle.through study completion, an average of 1 year

Identify perceived potential benefits and harms when applying AI in the antimicrobial stewardship cycle through a group discussion. Reporting: frequencies.

Identify prerequisites that need to be fulfilled when AI/Big data based clinical decision support systems are used bedside from the viewpoint of the participants.through study completion, an average of 1 year

Identify prerequisites that need to be fulfilled when AI/Big data based clinical decision support systems are used bedside and identify the most important ones for different aspects of the antimicrobial stewardship cycle from the viewpoint of the participants through a group discussion. Reporting: frequencies.

Baseline attitudes towards artificial intelligence and big data in medicinebaseline

Baseline attitudes towards artificial intelligence and big data in medicine will be collected through an online survey where participants will score their agreement with certain statements on a 6-point likert scale (Possible choices: Strongly agree - Agree - Neutral - Disagree - Totally Disagree - Not applicable).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subgroup analysis: agethrough study completion, an average of 1 year
