2025 Science of Caring Grand Rounds | Charting a Better Future for Patients and Clinicians: Perspectives from a Palliative Informaticist
Clinician administrative burden is at an all-time high in healthcare. Additionally, there are so many scientific therapeutic advances, the patient voice and preferences are not consistently captured or acted upon. Improvements in AI-enabled technology solutions have the opportunity to minimize clinician burden and also improve the delivery of person-centered care.
With high demands, information overload, and the cultural framework of medicine squarely focused on disease management not person-centered care management, we need better solutions to alleviate burden from clinicians providing them time and space to engage more with their patients. We also need to make it easier to capture what matters to patients. Combining patient preferences with clinical decision support can allow this information to be leveraged by clinicians.
Target Audience
This activity is oriented to address the educational needs of multidisciplinary clinicians in oncology.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss current state of our AI scribe solution and some of the developing future opportunities to streamline workflow.
- Identify performance indicators to evaluate for clinical AI models related to prognostication.
- Discuss possible barriers and biases which may impact patient care (i.e., race, ethnicity, language, gender identity/orientation, age, socioeconomic status, attitudes, feelings or other characteristics).
