Summary
The Health Data Analytics Institute has initiated the BRIDGE-SIC protocol at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, leveraging large language models to enhance communication about patients' care goals between inpatient and outpatient clinicians. The pilot study, overseen by Dr. Christopher Manz and Dr. Charlotta Lindvall, aims to evaluate the accuracy, feasibility, and impact of this approach on patient-centered care for hospitalized cancer patients. By summarizing care goals conversations, the initiative seeks to improve decision-making during and after hospitalization, potentially setting a precedent for the integration of AI in healthcare communication practices. Successful outcomes could pave the way for larger studies and broader implementation of similar technologies in clinical settings.
