The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has announced a new Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) focused on: "Examining the Impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Healthcare Safety (R18)" Some interesting opportunities that highlight: - Explores breakthrough AI uses affecting patient safety - Examines safe implementation and use of AI systems in healthcare - Aims to improve safety, quality, and accessibility of healthcare This is a fantastic chance for researchers to investigate: - How innovative AI approaches (like large language models) can reduce clinician burden and impact patient safety - Evidence-based practices for implementing and using AI systems in healthcare settings As AI continues to transform healthcare, it's crucial that pharmacy and healthcare understand its implications for patient safety. This funding opportunity could lead to some helpful insights for the limited uptake of many systems like those with AI! Interested?
