Johns Hopkins Medicine is teaming up with OpenEvidence to advance the use of artificial intelligence in medical education and clinical care.
OpenEvidence and Johns Hopkins executives provided Fierce Healthcare with a first look at the partnership news.
The health system and academic institution will partner with OpenEvidence to develop what they describe as "human-first AI systems" that combine the best available evidence with a patient’s medical history and Johns Hopkins’ clinical best practices to support care delivery. Sophisticated AI will help clinicians reason through that information more quickly, contextualize it, and make the best decisions for their patients, executives said.
"On the clinical side, we're interested in exploring how we can bring evidence-based AI more directly into clinical workflows, helping clinicians access and apply the latest medical knowledge in the context of individual patient care," Sara Murray, M.D. chief medical informatics and AI officer at Johns Hopkins Medicine, told Fierce Healthcare via email.
"Our goal is to work together to identify high-impact clinical use cases, develop solutions that fit naturally into how clinicians work and rigorously evaluate their impact on clinical decision-making, quality, and patient outcomes," Murray said.
The two organizations are still early in defining the specific capabilities they will develop together, Murray noted. "We see a significant opportunity to move beyond standalone medical information tools toward AI that is meaningfully integrated into the delivery of care," she said.
OpenEvidence is a widely used clinical decision support platform and medical search engine for healthcare professionals. S. clinicians, including physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, using OpenEvidence, the company said.
