Results show MT and GenAI tools are mostly used in routine care but are perceived as inappropriate for complex interactions, against a backdrop of absent institutional policies.

Abstract

This study surveys healthcare professionals’ use of MT and GenAI at a hospital, examining usage, adoption factors, satisfaction, technical conditions, and the perceived need for policies and training. Results show MT and GenAI tools are mostly used in routine care but are perceived as inappropriate for complex interactions, against a backdrop of absent institutional policies.
