The project seeks to reduce the time for clinical chart abstraction by 90% while maintaining human-level accuracy.

A real-world learning health system was established at VUMC a decade ago. Now, the National Human Genome Research Institute is awarding two five-year grants totaling $12 million to support VUMC’s participation in, and coordination of, a genomic-enabled learning health system (gLHS) network.

V-CARES will focus on detecting hallucinations, omissions and misaligned values in AI-generated responses on critical health topics.

REDCap, or Research Electronic Data Capture, is a web-based software application launched at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in 2004.

VUMC was recognized thanks to the leadership of Vanderbilt’s Department of Biomedical Informatics and its new AI Discovery & Vigilance to Accelerate Innovation & Clinical Excellence.
