AI Labs for Patient Safety

Protected health information requires special security. While research use-cases of health care data can generally use de-identified materials, QI and clinical operational use-cases may occasionally require the use of patient and clinician identifiers. These use-cases also carry a wider array of stakeholders beyond publishers and funding agencies and can include department chairs, division chiefs and college leadership. We created the AI Labs for Patient Safety, or ALPS, to address this need.

Rapid AI Prototyping and Development for patient Safety

Rapid AI Prototyping and Development for Patient Safety (RAPiDS) is an internal mechanism for developing, testing, and advancing innovative AI quality improvement efforts by bringing physicians and the AI/QI Incubator together to translate AI models into clinical improvements.

AI education and training

AI IN MEDED

Transforming medical education

Learners and trainees are taking a deep dive into one of the nation’s first curriculums at the intersection of AI and medical education. The series of interactive online courses leverage animations and videos to teach medical students and clinicians how AI can improve medicine. Distinctive in both content and approach, these courses put UF at the forefront of AI in medical learning. The courses are also eligible for CME credit.

Innovative AI learning opportunities

Biomedical Pathway Program

Partnering with the UF College of Medicine Office of Research, we offer several programs and events at the intersection of AI and health care delivery.
