PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This panel aims to explore the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on patient safety and quality initiatives within otolaryngology. The integration of machine learning and natural language processing in healthcare data analysis has shown promise in identifying risks, predicting disease trajectories, and enhancing communication. The discussion will delve into practical applications, ethical considerations, and potential regulatory implications, providing valuable insights for otolaryngologists navigating the evolving landscape of AI in patient care. The discussion will cover implications for private practice and academic otolaryngology.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Evaluate the potential of AI in identifying and preventing medication errors, predicting disease trajectories, and enhancing diagnostic accuracy within otolaryngology.
  2. Examine the ethical dimensions of AI implementation, focusing on transparency, bias mitigation, and patient autonomy in utilizing AI technologies.
  3. Discuss the anticipated regulatory landscape for AI in healthcare, addressing data protection, ownership, liability, and patient privacy, and identify measures for compliance and oversight.
