AMIE's Clinical Conversational Abilities in an Urgent Care Setting

Sponsor: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of a conversational artificial intelligence (AI) system to have a meaningful clinical conversation with a patient prior to an urgent care visit with their primary care physician. In this study, patients who are seeking an urgent care visit (that is, any type of medical visit with their primary care provider for a new complaint) will first have a conversation with an AI system. This interaction with the AI system will happen less than a week before their visit with their physician, and will be supervised by an independent physician who will interrupt in case there are any concerns about patient safety. After the interaction, a summary of the conversation will be sent to the patient's PCP, who will review prior to the in-person visit. The researchers will investigate: * Patient views on the AI system * PCP views on the AI system * Overall safety, as measured by the physician safety supervisor * Quality of clinical conversations, measured by standardized rubrics * Quality of diagnostic and management plans generated by the AI; these will not be shared with the patient or physician, but will be generated after the fact and compared with the actual diagnosis and management plan.
