Artificial Intelligence Readiness, Ethics, and Human-Centered Transformation in Multidisciplinary Healthcare

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping healthcare delivery, education, administration, and decision support across a wide range of disciplines. From predictive analytics and clinical documentation tools to patient education platforms, remote monitoring systems, and generative AI applications, digital innovations are increasingly embedded in everyday healthcare practice. As adoption accelerates, there is growing need for rigorous multidisciplinary scholarship that examines how AI is being understood, implemented, evaluated, and governed across diverse healthcare settings and professional groups.

This topic is important because the promise of AI in healthcare is accompanied by significant practical, ethical, educational, and organizational challenges. Questions of readiness, trust, accountability, transparency, professional identity, patient safety, bias, workforce adaptation, and equitable access remain incompletely addressed. Healthcare transformation cannot be understood through a purely technical lens; it requires insights from clinicians, educators, health services researchers, behavioral scientists, ethicists, implementation researchers, and policy scholars. A focused Article Collection on this theme will provide a timely platform for evidence that helps healthcare systems adopt innovations responsibly while preserving human-centered care.

This Article Collection welcomes submissions that explore AI and related digital technologies in multidisciplinary healthcare practice, education, leadership, and policy. Relevant subtopics include:

• Workforce readiness
• Digital literacy
• Ethical and legal considerations
• Clinical decision making
• Patient perspectives
• Implementation barriers and facilitators
• Professional role change
• Communication
• Equity
• Data governance
• Evaluation of AI-enabled interventions

We welcome original research, systematic reviews, scoping reviews, qualitative studies, mixed methods studies, implementation studies, methodological papers, policy analyses, and short reports that align with the scope of the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare.

We recommend reviewing Taylor & Francis's guidance on the acceptable use of AI in manuscript preparation.
