AI-Enabled Clinical Practice teaches healthcare professionals how to use AI to streamline clinical workflows, enhance documentation, and support high-quality patient care. Through hands-on exercises and realistic healthcare scenarios, learners explore practical applications of AI that help clinicians work more efficiently while maintaining clinical judgment and appropriate human oversight. Learners gain experience using AI to prioritize clinical tasks, optimize daily workflows, support electronic health record (EHR) documentation, transcribe doctor-patient conversations, and generate patient treatment summaries. Throughout the course, they practice reviewing and refining AI-generated content to ensure accuracy, completeness, and appropriate clinical context before it is used in patient care. By the end of the course, learners will be prepared to integrate AI into everyday clinical practice to improve documentation, reduce administrative burden, and enhance efficiency while maintaining the quality, safety, and professionalism that effective patient care requires.

Syllabus

AI for operational effectiveness in patient administration

AI can help healthcare professionals spend less time on routine administrative tasks and more time supporting patients and care teams. In this module, you'll explore how AI tools can assist with prioritizing tasks, optimizing workflows, automating patient data entry, and extracting meaningful insights from data. Through practical activities, you'll develop strategies for using AI to improve efficiency while supporting accurate, organized, and effective healthcare operations. As you evaluate opportunities to use AI, consider which routine tasks consume the most time. Identifying repetitive processes is often the first step toward improving efficiency and creating more time for higher-value work.
Module Objective: Apply AI tools to prioritize tasks, optimize workflows, automate administrative processes, and extract insights from healthcare data.

Patient documentation

Accurate, timely documentation is essential to high-quality patient care and efficient healthcare operations. In this module, you'll explore how AI can support electronic health record documentation by assisting with clinical transcription, organizing patient information, and generating treatment summaries. Through practical activities, you'll gain experience using AI to streamline documentation tasks while supporting accuracy, consistency, and effective communication across the care team. As you work with AI-generated documentation, review the information carefully for completeness, accuracy, and clinical context. Careful human oversight helps ensure documentation remains reliable and appropriate for patient care.
Module Objective: Apply AI tools to support electronic health record documentation, transcribe clinical conversations, and generate patient treatment summaries.
