Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to reshape the future of community-based primary care practices and revolutionize patient care. How do we align the potential of AI to the clinical and business needs of physicians and clinical teams? Panelists will explore AI’s growing potential in primary care, discuss the process to best understand clinician needs and the alignment to emerging technologies, the need for privacy and regulatory evaluation, and then how to scale solutions that are ready for broad adoption.
Learning Objectives:
1) Participants will gain insights into the potential applications of AI in primary care settings, from data-driven decision-making to predictive analytics.
2) Participants will learn about an evaluation framework that can be applied to capture alignment between technology and clinical needs.
