Study Notes

Objectives

Define generative AI and its relevance to the pharmacy profession.
Identify different uses of generative AI, from drug discovery to pharmacy practice.
Discuss the ethical and legal risks of using generative AI in pharmacy practice.
Describe how teaching and learning about generative AI is integrated into pharmacy education.

Introduction

Generative AI is revolutionizing pharmacy practice, enhancing quality, efficiency, and safety of care.
AI models benefit community and health system settings, education, and research.
Generative AI streamlines workflows for pharmacy staff (technicians, interns, pharmacists).
AI improves patient outcomes and makes the healthcare system more responsive.
Concerns about AI implementation and use include generation of incorrect or outdated recommendations, clinical judgment replacement, and privacy issues regarding sensitive health information.

Formal Definition

Generative AI is a machine learning technology creating new content (conversations, written materials, images, videos) using input data or text.
It replicates human intelligence and cognitive processes through computational algorithms.

Key Terms

Large Language Model: A semantic component of generative AI that interprets and contextualizes input text for easier output (used in ambient listening systems, allowing the technology to match words/phrases).
Natural Language Processing: Processes human language for understanding; identifies relationships between data or sentence structure (used for medical documentation, diagnosis or treatment coding).
AI Hallucinations: Generative AI producing seemingly plausible but inaccurate answers from non existent referenced sources.
Cluster Detection: Identifies similar data points or patterns from larger data sets to organize information, frequently used in research and patient clinical care.

Background

Generative AI has been around since the 1970s (MYCIN - early computer consultation).
It's been used for managing patient records, large hospital networks, and inventory.
Generative AI facilitates automated machines and software (diagnostic tools and treatment algorithms.).
Generative AI differs from earlier automated robotic systems.

Examples Being Used in Practice Now

ChatGPT: A reinforcement learning model interacting like a conversation, via text.
Google Gemini: Generative AI embedded in Google browsers based on natural language processing.
MedAware: Generative AI that analyzes data to detect medication errors.
Google Deep Mind Health Project: AI analyzes medical records to optimize outcomes, provides diagnostic and treatment plans.
IBM Watson for Oncology: Generative AI computational decision support system for oncologists.

Applications in Pharmacy Practice

Clinical Decision Support: AI assists pharmacists in clinical decision-making by adding supplemental information and supports accuracy.
Administrative Tasks: AI assists with administration tasks like filling prescriptions, verifying orders, and responding to patient messages by prioritizing workflow.
Patient Education: Generative AI can create personalized educational materials for patients, and summarizes counseling points.
Ambulatory Care Settings: AI can assist in making treatment recommendations and documentation.
Inventory Management: AI can optimize inventory and predict demand.
Automation and Scheduling: AI automates reminders, scheduling, and staffing optimization.

Potential Risks

Misinformation: Generative AI can sometimes provide inaccurate or misleading information (in particular, specific diagnoses).
AI Hallucinations: AI can fabricate information that may appear accurate.
Bias: Algorithms may reflect biased training data (unfair/inadequate treatment recommendations based on incomplete data).
Lack of Interoperability: Generative AI systems may be incompatible with existing platforms, creating data gaps.
Concerns about Replacement of Clinical Judgement: Generative AI does not replace pharmacist knowledge, experience, clinical judgment, and ethical considerations in patient care.
Access to Recent Information: AI systems may not be able to access the most up-to-date information in medical findings.
