Leading the Charge: CarolinaEMR's First Phase AI Adoption for Startup Practices
In the dynamic world of healthcare, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword but a critical tool for enhancing patient care, optimizing operations, and driving innovation. CarolinaEMR is at the forefront of this transformation, inviting startup practices to join the first phase of our AI adoption program. This initiative is designed to integrate advanced AI technologies seamlessly into healthcare practices, ensuring they are positioned at the cutting edge of medical care and service delivery.
The Journey Begins: Current State and Model Prototype
CarolinaEMR has developed a state-of-the-art AI model prototype, designed to streamline diagnostic processes, enhance patient outcomes, and optimize practice operations. This prototype represents the current state of our AI technology a robust platform built on the latest advancements in machine learning and data analysis, ready for real-world application.
Identifying Partners for Coordination
The next critical step in our journey is to identify and collaborate with startup practices that are eager to embrace AI technology. Our goal is to form strategic partnerships with these practices, providing them with the tools and support needed to implement AI seamlessly into their workflows. By working closely with these partners, we aim to tailor our AI solutions to meet the specific needs of different healthcare settings.
Next Steps: Validating Model at eCW Organizations
To ensure our AI model meets the highest standards of accuracy and reliability, the next phase involves extensive validation within eClinicalWorks (eCW) organizations. This process is crucial for assessing the model's performance in live healthcare environments and making necessary adjustments based on real-world data and feedback.
Validation Methods
CarolinaEMR offers two distinct validation options for startup practices:
- Retrospective (Spreadsheet) Validation**: This approach allows practices to validate the AI model's recommendations against a historical dataset of patient cases. It's an effective way to assess the model's accuracy retrospectively, with the option to integrate the findings into Epic for comprehensive data analysis and review.
- Concurrent (In-System) Validation**: For practices seeking to validate the AI model in real-time, this option provides the ability to apply AI analysis to historic orders directly within their system. This method offers immediate insights and allows for the dynamic assessment of the model's performance in current clinical workflows.
Both validation methods are designed to measure and improve the model's accuracy, ensuring it meets the specific needs of our partner practices before potential widespread release.
R&D Immersion: A Hands-On Approach
At no cost to the adopting practices, CarolinaEMR's Research and Development (R&D) team is excited to offer an on-site R&D immersion program. This unique opportunity involves our experts working directly within your practice to integrate the AI model, providing hands-on support, and customizing the technology to fit your specific operational needs.
Looking Ahead: Designing the Full Workflow
As we validate the AI model and gather invaluable insights from our first phase adopter practices, the next step is to design a full workflow for automatic population and review. This comprehensive workflow will ensure the seamless integration of AI technology into daily operations, enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and patient care quality.
