Mayo Clinic Launches AI Clinical Decision Support to Enhance Patient Care and Reduce Clinician Workload
  • The solution includes 35 specialty-specific large language model chats that can connect to electronic health records to guide individualized patient care.

  • The system is built as an augmentative copilot, not an autonomous prescriber, preserving clinician judgment.

  • The chat tool is updated daily with emerging clinical trial results, guideline updates, and new drug safety warnings, alongside established clinical pathways.

  • Gelareh Zadeh, M.D., Ph.D., emphasizes that the CDS supports clinicians without replacing professional judgment.

  • The tool aims to reduce cognitive overload by embedding curated knowledge directly into the EHR, minimizing the need to leave the EHR for external resources.

  • The CDS includes 22 clinical calculators accessible by chat or voice dictation, offering Mayo Clinic-developed proprietary calculators and standard industry tools for decision support.

  • A suite of 22 voice- and text-enabled calculators provides risk and diagnostic calculations using standard and Mayo Clinic-developed algorithms.

  • There are 22 calculators that deliver medical information and evidence-based decision support on demand.

  • Mayo Clinic Platform has launched an AI-enabled Clinical Decision Support (CDS) that injects Mayo Clinic knowledge and evidence-informed guidance directly into clinicians’ workflows.

  • Leadership says the CDS is continually evaluated with physician feedback to align with Mayo Clinic’s patient-care approach.

  • The CDS is designed to reduce time clinicians spend searching multiple resources, freeing more time for patient care, with plans to expand as more tools are added to the Platform.

  • Subspecialty-Specific Clinical Chat covers 35+ specialties, uses an integrated large language model to assist with natural-language queries, and automatically cites peer-reviewed literature.
