NoHarm Summary Discharge

Henrique Dias of the Instituto de Inteligencia Artificial na Saude in Brazil will determine whether AI can produce an accurate hospital discharge summary to ensure that essential information is passed to the next healthcare provider and patient care is maintained. Discharge summaries are often incomplete, unclear, or delayed in terms of their delivery due to the document construction process. They will test two AI models to produce discharge summaries - one trained by health professionals completing electronic medical records, and the other trained with 46 GB of data in Portuguese, corresponding to 38 million clinical notes from 70 hospitals. They will perform a retrospective, non-inferiority, single-blind study to compare the quality and speed of the discharge summaries produced by both AI models with those produced by medical professionals.
