Course Outline

Core Principles of Agentic AI in Healthcare

  • Differentiating agentic systems from standard tool-using LLM applications
  • Defining autonomy limits, policy frameworks, and the role of human supervision
  • Understanding healthcare data ecosystems and restrictions (EHR, FHIR, PHI)

Architecting Agent Workflows

  • Integrating planning, memory, tool usage, and reflective processes
  • Refining prompt engineering, function/tools, and decision-making selection
  • Managing state and implementing effective orchestration patterns

Developing Retrieval-Augmented Agents

  • Processing medical documentation through ingestion and chunking strategies
  • Utilizing embeddings, vector databases, and assessing relevance
  • Ensuring response accuracy and implementing citation methodologies

Healthcare System Integration and Interoperability

  • Understanding FHIR/SMART fundamentals for seamless agent connectivity
  • Handling both structured and unstructured clinical data sources
  • Managing event streaming, APIs, and comprehensive audit trails

Ensuring Safety, Risk Management, and Governance

  • Implementing guardrails, conducting red-team exercises, and designing fail-safes
  • Managing PHI, de-identification processes, and strict access controls
  • Establishing human-in-the-loop reviews and clear escalation protocols

Performance Evaluation and Continuous Monitoring

  • Conducting offline assessments, utilizing golden datasets, and defining KPIs
  • Detecting hallucinations and verifying factual accuracy
  • Enhancing observability, logging practices, and managing cost/latency

Deployment Strategies and Practical Lab

  • Comparing API-based versus on-premise model deployment options
  • Developing a retrieval-augmented agent using LangChain, FastAPI, and ChromaDB
  • Simulating incident response and executing rollback procedures
