Abstract Background: Human rights, which are very important for the health system and hospital accreditation requirements, include the issue of patient rights in hospitals. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the advanced technologies in this industry, which aims to improve the standard of medical services for patients.
Objectives: This study was conducted with the aim of improving the enhancing patient's rights criteria in hospital accreditation standard by using AI (case study: selected hospitals in Zahedan county), which examines the factors affecting patient rights and the benefits of using AI.
Methods: According to the subject and purpose, the research approach is cross-sectional and descriptive, which was conducted in several hospitals in Zahedan in 2023. Experts in this field were given a questionnaire to complete as part of this study. Then the most important effects in this field were ranked.
Results: Experts ranked the factors of better disease diagnosis, prevention and prediction, advanced treatment methods, and easier access to medical data as the most important factors. The findings of this study indicate that if AI is used in selected hospitals of Zahedan, the rights of patients will be consistent with international validation criteria.
Conclusion: The factors covered in this study are necessary for the successful integration of AI in the health system, as well as following the guidelines that apply to any other intelligent system, including technical training and considering organizational, managerial and economic aspects. In order to intelligently adapt these systems, stakeholders in the health sector must use these components.

Abstract Background: Smart hospitals today use Artificial Intelligence to improve the quality of their services. In this sense, optimizing the patient's electronic medical record is one of the most significant issues that these hospitals face.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the role of AI in patient electronic records in a smart hospital.
Methods: This study was a systematic review, with keywords searched in PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and SID databases. In Persian and English, the keywords were artificial intelligence algorithms, electronic medical records, service quality, and hospital. The inclusion criteria included publication in Persian or English, full-text papers, current publications, and a focus on the use of AI in electronic medical records. Finally, about 57 papers related to the investigation were picked.
Results: After reviewing previous related studies, it was discovered that AI can play a role in various aspects of electronic patient records, such as disease diagnosis, predicting relapse and recovery periods, improving treatment accuracy and reducing medical errors, digital care, and decision-support systems. This can result in a 20-30% improvement in resource planning, a 30% decrease in wait times, better resource use, and more accurate predictions.
Conclusion: Leveraging AI in electronic patient records is critical for maximizing benefits while minimizing hazards. Despite the limitations, AI has the potential to become a critical tool for smart hospitals in improving healthcare delivery and efficiency. Accordingly, healthcare leaders that incorporate AI algorithms into their systems can give more effective and up-to-date care to their patients.
