The scoping review examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is applied across all stages of medication management in rural healthcare settings, from prescribing to post-administration monitoring. It identifies four main themes: the types of AI used, the medication phases impacted, the effectiveness in reducing errors, and rural-specific challenges such as infrastructure and alert fatigue. Studies show machine‑learning surveillance can cut prescribing and transcription errors by 34% to 80%, yet barriers like governance gaps, funding limits, and clinician resistance remain.

The paper evaluates the cost‑effectiveness of consensus‑based learning (CBL) versus federated learning (FL) across seven medical datasets, three tasks, and eight modalities involving 3 to 23 clients. CBL achieves accuracy comparable to FL while dramatically cutting training time (15‑fold) and communication cost (60‑fold). The study suggests that CBL offers a more sustainable and democratized approach to deploying collaborative AI in real‑world healthcare settings.
