Event Description
The Arizona Telemedicine Program, Southwest Telehealth Resource Center and the University of Arizona Center for Rural Health invite you to join a free, one-hour webinar as part of the 2023 Arizona Center for Rural Health fall webinar series. This webinar series is focused on providing technical assistance to rural stakeholders to disseminate research findings, policy updates, best-practices and other rural health issues to statewide rural partners and stakeholders throughout the state.
Two case studies: the role of generative artificial intelligence in rural Arizonan health
Join us in a discussion of the role of AI in health care and the implications it may have on the health of rural Arizonans through two case study examples.
Participants will be able to:
- Describe two case studies of AI use in health care settings and determine the role it could play in future health care settings, looking at its advantages and disadvantages.
- Effect of AI use in health care on the quality of care patients/clients receive.
- Ethical Implications of AI use in health care (E.g., disclosure to patients).
- Limitations in generative AI output (E.g., potential for bias) and how to address them.
