NIH awarded a grant to University of California, San Francisco to develop and assess a clinical decision support tool using informatics and NLP to improve IPV diagnosis by dentists.
Description
This NIH grant project focuses on leveraging health informatics and natural language processing to develop a clinical decision support tool aimed at improving intimate partner violence (IPV) diagnosis by dentists. The project includes identifying IPV-related orofacial injuries in electronic health records and developing a prototype tool to assess feasibility and acceptability, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and reducing missed IPV cases in dental practice workflows.
