The potential benefits and risks associated with integrating generative artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical practice will be the focal point of this morning’s session, “Generative AI Tools for Surgery: Will AI Change My Practice?,” at 11:30 am in Room 303-304 South.
Panelists will include leaders in the health informatics space with expertise in generative AI, biomedical informatics, and regulatory considerations for healthcare-related software.
“We have a great lineup of speakers,” said moderator Daniel A. Hashimoto, MD, MS. “Genevieve B. Melton-Meaux, MD, PhD, FACS, president of the American Medical Informatics Association and ACS Chief Health Informatics Officer, will provide her expertise as both a colorectal surgeon and leading health informaticist. Gabriel A. Brat, MD, FACS, a trauma surgeon, associate editor of NEJM AI, and Vice-Chair of the AI Subcommittee of the ACS Health Information Technology Committee, will offer his perspective on how surgeons could benefit from AI analytics. And Tyler J. Loftus, MD, FACS, Chair of the ACS Health IT Committee and a trauma surgeon, has extensive experience in AI surgical risk calculators and will provide on-the-ground views of how these calculators are changing clinical care today.”
Case studies and pilot programs will be presented that demonstrate the impact of this technology on patient care, surgical workflow, and surgical education.
“I hope that attendees will get an accurate picture of the current landscape of generative AI technologies,” Dr. Hashimoto said. “It is our goal for attendees to learn how existing generative AI tools can be used and how they should not be used in situations where they have not been adequately vetted. We want this session to offer an ‘under the hood’ view of these algorithms and provide practical suggestions on their applications in surgical practice.”
