AI can diagnose, so why is prescribing still healthcare's red line
AI 早就能下诊断,为什么开处方才是那条红线
AI diagnosis gives out medical information, while prescribing carries drug delivery and legal liability. Utah uses a regulatory sandbox to bring algorithmic prescribing under a no-action agreement. Nolla Health's acne topical prescription pilot is still in phase one, where two independent licensed doctors pre-review every prescription. Later phases need written approval. The article separates legal authorization from unsupervised operation, and covers delegated prescribing rights, the split between state and federal oversight, and the liability risk for supervising doctors.
Why it matters: Utah authorized algorithmic prescribing through a no-action agreement, yet doctors still pre-review each prescription, so the split between legal authorization and actual operation shows where medical AI autonomy stands.
