The presentation will share the key insights and themes from OCO’s Caregivers as Partners in Care Roundtable - a cross-sector dialogue that brought together point-of-care providers, caregivers, patient participants, system and organizational leaders, government and health policy and academics to collaborate on future opportunities to advance the recognition of caregivers in the healthcare system. This presentation will share key themes and insights from this collaboration, as well as speak to the work of OCO’s Essential Care Partner Support Hub. Find out more.

Empowering Primary Care Teams: The AI Advantage

 

This talk will review key milestones that led to today's "AI Hype", describe the tasks that AI can currently support in a primary care context, and propose outcomes that effective AI use could enhance. Examples of AI tools ranging from AI scribes to alleviate administrative burdens to remote patient monitoring and support for treatment adherence between appointments, will be used to illustrate these points. Attendees are encouraged to dream big about what is possible and meaningful for their teams and care contexts. Find out more.
