Artificial Intelligence Assistant in Managing Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections in Women

Overview

About this study

The long-term goal of this research is to evaluate the benefit of using an AI assistant in addressing acute care needs in Mayo Clinic Primary Care patients. This process will assess the simplicity of use, efficiency, convenience, and ease of access for Mayo Clinic Primary Care patients. Furthermore, it will evaluate the effectiveness of diagnosing, treating, and preparing documentation for primary care providers. If effective, this will reduce administrative burden, burnout, and unnecessary barriers to access. It will also improve quality measures, such as appropriate use of antibiotics and will drive a higher level of evidence-based medicine to improve patient outcomes.
