Clinical
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence in healthcare, the Clinical Workgroup plays a pivotal role in ensuring that AI-driven innovations are aligned with the clinical needs at VP&S. AI can enhance patient-centered care in multiple ways, including early diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, and clinician support in delivering high-quality care.
The Clinical Workgroup aims to validate AI models for clinical accuracy, usability, and safety while training clinical staff and providers on how to incorporate the models in patient care. The workgroup will evaluate and track AI tools, and create a governance process for its use. It will highlight best practices for AI in clinical care, lead focus groups for various clinical specialties within VP&S, and showcase tools that are deemed fit for use in clinical practice.
By bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and frontline healthcare practice, the Clinical Workgroup will shape AI solutions at VP&S that are practical, trustworthy, and capable of transforming patient outcomes.
