Monday, October 19, 2026 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. MDT at Salt Palace Convention Center - Ballroom J
Available for 1.50 hours of CPE creditActivity Type: An Application-Based ActivityThis focus session will explore how emerging technologies can meaningfully reduce clinical burden while elevating both patient care and learner development. Three panelists will each address a core pillar of tech-enabled practice. The first will examine ambient scribing solutions and AI-supported evidence review, highlighting how these tools can streamline documentation, accelerate decision-making, and reduce cognitive load. The second will demonstrate how AI can enhance precepting through case generation, tutoring, and targeted educational support, paired with practical guidance on pitfalls, bias, hallucinations, and safe vetting practices. The third panelist will explore early real-world examples and near-term possibilities for using AI to support patient identification, risk stratification, and quality reporting, emphasizing what is realistically feasible now, what is on the horizon, and how these tools could eventually intersect with value-based care workflows. Together, the panel will offer a grounded, pragmatic vision of how technology can make clinical practice easier while improving outcomes for patients and learners alike.
Learning Objectives1. Evaluate how ambient documentation tools, AI-driven evidence retrieval, and clinical decision support can streamline provider workflows and enhance accuracy in ambulatory care.
2. Apply AI platforms to teaching and precepting for tutoring, case creation, and feedback, with attention to common pitfalls and principles for safe, appropriate vetting.
3. Examine emerging and potential applications of AI-enabled patient identification, risk stratification, intervention support, and reporting to support value-based care and clinic-wide efficiency as the technology develops.
