Seattle Children's built 'Pathway Assistant' with Google, trained only on its internal clinical pathway documents, to guide clinicians through diagnosis and treatment workflows for 70+ pediatric conditions. Its CMIO told HealthSystemCIO the assistant achieves more than 98% accuracy after tuning and is being rolled out in emergency and urgent care.
Reported outcomes
Outcomes are reported exactly as stated by the source; we have not independently audited them.
How it works
- Trained exclusively on Seattle Children's internal pathway documents.
- Engages clinicians in multi-step dialogues that adapt to patient details.
- Standalone by design: no EHR connection and no PHI.
Risks & compliance
- Clinical decision support only; not medical advice
- Accuracy is self-reported by the organization
Healthcare cases cover operational and commercial workflows. Nothing here is medical advice or a claim about a device's or drug's efficacy.
