- Agentic AI in healthcare operates autonomously to achieve clinical goals.
- Lack of clarity in distinguishing AI agents from Agentic AI in literature.
- Scoping review identified seven studies in emergency medicine, oncology, radiology, and rehabilitation.
- Features include autonomous operation, goal-directed behavior, and multi-agent collaboration.
- Reported outcomes: high accuracy in diagnosis, treatment planning, alert generation, and workflow optimization.
- Most studies were exploratory, limited in scope, and lacked robust clinical validation.
- Only one trial involved patients, highlighting the immaturity of Agentic AI in healthcare.
- Need for standardized definitions, regulatory guidance, and rigorous evaluation.
