Describing a complex primary health care population in a learning health system to support future decision support and artificial intelligence initiatives
Primer for artificial intelligence in primary care
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are transforming clinical practice. There is a need for tailored education for end users and a need for more primary care stakeholder engagement during development and testing of AI-driven tools. An in-depth or technical understanding of AI is not required for clinicians to be able to make meaningful contributions to AI-related initiatives; however, most existing AI education resources focus on methods or are not specific to primary care.
