Title
“How can AI make us better diagnosticians?”
Speaker
Glen Thomas Clark, DDS, MS
Professor and Associate Dean of Distance Education
Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry
University of Southern California
This is a lecture that provides a glimpse of how an algorithm – enhanced clinical decision support system (CDSS) might impact patient care. Algorithms are used in medicine currently to help identify high risk patients for re-admission after a hospitalization. This is important to hospitals since they often have value-based contracts with CMS promising to lower the rates of re-admission.
While dentistry has not entered the world of value-based care contracts yet, algorithms are coming to dentistry also. Dr. Clark will focus on the area of dental practice described as Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine. Specifically, he will show you how an algorithm enhanced CDSS web app that is now being used at the USC Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine clinic to assist resident clinicians with the diagnosis of the myriad of conditions.
Please join Dr. Clark as he provides a review of how it works, why it’s needed and discusses its potential to reduce misdiagnoses.
