SUMMARY:AI Top 10 Launch: What Infection Preventionists Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: John Delano\, MPH\, CIC\, LSSGB\, FAPIC and Sara Townsend MS-HQS\, CIC\, FAPIC \nArtificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly emerging across healthcare settings\, but for many infection preventionists (IPs)\, it can be difficult to separate meaningful application from industry hype. As AI tools continue moving into day-to-day healthcare operations\, IPs need practical guidance to better understand how these technologies may impact infection prevention and control (IPC) practice. \nThis webinar will provide a first look at the new tool\, Ten Key Points for Infection Preventionists – What to Know About the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Infection Prevention and Control. Authors will walk through key concepts\, common terminology\, real-world applications\, and important considerations related to implementation\, readiness\, barriers\, and equity. \nParticipants will gain a practical\, foundational understanding of how AI may support IPC programs and where infection preventionists should focus their attention as adoption continues to evolve across healthcare settings. \n*Fee to attend for non-APIC members.
