Two Sides of the AI/ML Coin in Health Care

By Kathryn Marchesini, Jeff Smith, & Jordan Everson – As we’ve previously discussed, algorithms—step by step instructions (rules) to perform a task or solve a problem, especially by a computer—have been widely used in health care for decades. One clear use of these algorithms is through evidence-based, clinical decision support interventions.


Minimizing Risks and Maximizing Rewards from Machine Learning

By Kathryn Marchesini, Jeff Smith, & Jordan Everson – When talking about artificial intelligence today, people are usually referring to predictive models—often driven by machine learning techniques—that “learn” from historic data and make predictions, recommendations, or classifications (outputs) which inform or drive decision making.


Expanding the Use of HIE Data for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research

By Adam Wong & Wei Chang – ONC is excited to announce “Using Machine Learning Techniques to Enable Health Information Exchange to Support COVID-19-Focused PCOR,” a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund project implementing new technologies and standards to unlock the potential for health information exchanges (HIEs) to support research.
