Description:

Artificial intelligence (AI) consistently ranks as the most exciting emerging technology among clinicians, healthcare executives, and researchers, due to its potential to transform healthcare delivery. AI is becoming increasingly important for its potential to enhance clinician productivity, improve quality of care, and increase patients’ engagement in their own care. It also has the potential to streamline patient access to care and personalize medical treatments by leveraging analytics to mine significant, previously untapped stores of unstructured clinical data. Join AHRQ’s expert panel of speakers to gain valuable insights from their research leveraging AI tools to improve provider effectiveness and patient outcomes in clinical care settings. Eligible providers can earn up to 1.5 CE/CME contact hours for participating in the live webinar. 

Learning Objectives:

       At the conclusion of this Webinar, participants should be able to:

  • Discuss how an AI algorithm can be developed into an EHR-based clinical decision support tool and optimized for use in the emergency department to improve diagnostic accuracy. 
  • Describe how AI tools can simplify complex and voluminous patient data into enhanced data visualizations that support clinical decision-making, facilitate earlier interventions, and reduce cognitive load for providers. 
  • Identify strategies for integrating AI algorithms into the clinical workflow to enhance efficiency, reduce false positives, and ensure timely diagnostic follow-up imaging.
