Course Outline

Foundations of Agentic AI in Healthcare

  • Distinguishing between agentic systems and standard tool-only LLM applications
  • Defining autonomy boundaries, operational policies, and the role of human oversight
  • Navigating the healthcare data ecosystem and its specific constraints (EHR, FHIR, PHI)

Architecting Agent Workflows

  • Integrating planning, memory, tool usage, and reflection loops
  • Applying prompt engineering, function/tool definitions, and intelligent action selection
  • Managing state effectively and implementing robust orchestration patterns

Retrieval-Augmented Agents

  • Ingesting and structuring medical documents for optimal processing
  • Utilizing embeddings, vector stores, and evaluating relevance metrics
  • Ensuring response grounding and implementing effective citation strategies

Healthcare Integrations and Interoperability

  • Understanding FHIR/SMART fundamentals for seamless agent connectivity
  • Processing both structured and unstructured clinical data streams
  • Managing eventing, API interactions, and maintaining comprehensive audit trails

Safety, Risk Management, and Governance

  • Implementing guardrails, conducting red-teaming, and designing fail-safe mechanisms
  • Handling PHI responsibly, including de-identification and strict access controls
  • Establishing human-in-the-loop review processes and clear escalation pathways

Evaluation and Monitoring

  • Conducting offline evaluations, building golden sets, and defining key performance indicators
  • Detecting hallucinations and performing rigorous factuality checks
  • Enhancing observability, logging, and managing cost/latency metrics

Deployment Strategies and Practical Labs

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