In a hospital setting, nurses and doctors round regularly. No one is talking about using AI as a replacement for that, because no one has anything approaching that much trust in predictive models.

Predictive models are most often used as either an alerting mechanism or an additional data point on a dashboard. You need to careful of alert fatigue, where too many false positives cause humans to disregard all alerts from the model. And if you don’t get people ignoring alerts, you can waste a lot of people’s time and energy by having constantly having them run to check on someone who is actually fine.
