Informatics Basics
Recorded On: 10/01/2019
Description:
Artificial intelligence (AI) and other forms of Cognitive Computing are becoming more prevalent in healthcare, but many healthcare providers may not know how to use it in their practices. This webinar is intended to answer some basic questions surrounding AI. What is AI? What are the different types of AI and Cognitive Computing methods? What are the similarities/differences between the methods, and how are they similar/different from screening tools that we currently utilize (SIRS/qSOFA and other early warning scores)? How can we leverage the advances in AI technology to better identify patients at risk for sepsis?
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the activity, the learner should be able to:
- Restate the basics behind AI and other forms of Cognitive Computing;
- Outline the similarities between risk scoring and computer models;
- Identify how AI can be used to augment existing sepsis screening tools.
Target Audience:
Nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians, emergency responders, pharmacists, medical technologists, respiratory therapists, physical/occupational therapists, infection prevention specialists, data/quality specialists, and more.
