Course Outline

Foundations of Agentic AI in Healthcare

  • Distinguishing agentic systems from basic tool-only LLM applications
  • Defining autonomy boundaries, policy frameworks, and the role of human oversight
  • Navigating the healthcare data ecosystem and its constraints (including EHR, FHIR, and PHI)

Designing Effective Agent Workflows

  • Implementing planning strategies, memory management, tool usage, and reflection loops
  • Advanced prompt engineering, function/tool integration, and decision-making for action selection
  • Managing state and applying orchestration patterns for complex tasks

Building Retrieval-Augmented Agents

  • Ingesting and chunking medical documents for efficient processing
  • Utilizing embeddings, vector stores, and evaluating relevance
  • Ensuring response accuracy through grounding and strategic citation

Healthcare Integrations and Interoperability

  • Core FHIR/SMART concepts for enabling agent connectivity
  • Handling both structured and unstructured clinical data sources
  • Managing event-driven systems, API interactions, and maintaining audit trails

Safety, Risk Management, and Governance

  • Establishing guardrails, conducting red-teaming exercises, and designing fail-safes
  • Managing PHI, ensuring de-identification, and implementing robust access controls
  • Integrating human-in-the-loop reviews and defining clear escalation paths

Evaluation and Continuous Monitoring

  • Conducting offline evaluations, creating golden sets, and defining key performance indicators (KPIs)
  • Detecting hallucinations and performing rigorous factuality checks
  • Ensuring observability, comprehensive logging, and optimizing cost and latency

Deployment Strategies and Practical Lab

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