Course Outline

Foundations of Agentic AI for Healthcare

  • Distinction between agentic systems and tool-only LLM applications
  • Defining autonomy boundaries, policies, and human oversight requirements
  • Overview of the healthcare data landscape and its constraints (EHR, FHIR, PHI)

Designing Agent Workflows

  • Mechanisms for planning, memory, tool usage, and reflection loops
  • Prompt engineering, function/tool invocation, and action selection strategies
  • Patterns for state management and orchestration

Retrieval-Augmented Agents

  • Ingestion and chunking of medical documents
  • Utilizing embeddings, vector stores, and evaluating relevance
  • Grounding responses and managing citation strategies

Healthcare Integrations and Interoperability

  • Fundamentals of FHIR and SMART for agent connectivity
  • Processing structured and unstructured clinical data
  • Managing eventing, APIs, and audit trails

Safety, Risk, and Governance

  • Implementing guardrails, conducting red-teaming, and designing fail-safe mechanisms
  • Managing PHI, de-identification techniques, and access controls
  • Human-in-the-loop review processes and escalation paths

Evaluation and Monitoring

  • Conducting offline evaluations, utilizing golden sets, and defining KPIs
  • Detecting hallucinations and verifying factuality
  • Ensuring observability, logging, and managing cost/latency

Deployment Patterns and Hands-on Lab

  • Comparing API-based versus on-prem model options
  • Building a retrieval-augmented agent using LangChain, FastAPI, and ChromaDB
  • Practicing simulated incident response and rollback procedures
