Let’s imagine the possibilities and theoretically demo the results based on current knowledge:
-
yes AI made the process fast and the patient did not die unnecessarily.
-
same but the patient died well.
-
same but the patient died.
-
same as either 1, 2, or 3 but AI made things slower.
Demo:
Pharmacy: Patient requires amoxicillin for a painful infection of the ear while allergic to penicillin:
AI: Sure! You will find penicillin in Isle 23 box number 5.
Pharmacy: the patient needs amoxicillin actually.
AI: Sure! The Patient must have an allergic reaction to more commonly used anti inflammatory medications.
Pharmacy: actually amoxicillin is more of an antibiotic, where can I find it?
AI: Sure! While you are correct that amoxicillin is an antibiotic, it is a well studied result that after an infection inflammation is reduced. You can find the inflammation through out the body including the region where the infection is located.
Pharmacy: amoxicillin location!
AI: Sure! Amoxicillin was invented in Beecham Research Laboratories.
“Pharmacists are finding they can see more patients a day by just prescribing the closest thing within arm’s reach”
Seeing more patients is not a good thing by itself
There’s a guy who works as a product owner at my employer. He has a PharmD. He got fed up with the metrics for how many prescriptions he had to fill. Now he does software.
It’s crazy to think that someone has a terminal degree in a really technical field and he nope’d out because of how bad it got.
