Course Outline

Foundations of Agentic AI in Healthcare

  • Distinguishing agentic systems from tool-only LLM applications.
  • Defining autonomy boundaries, policies, and the role of human oversight.
  • Understanding the healthcare data environment and its constraints (including EHR, FHIR, and PHI).

Architecting Agent Workflows

  • Integrating planning, memory, tool usage, and reflection loops.
  • Applying prompt engineering, function/tool definitions, and action selection strategies.
  • Managing state and employing orchestration patterns.

Retrieval-Augmented Agents

  • Ingesting and chunking medical documentation effectively.
  • Utilizing embeddings, vector stores, and assessing relevance.
  • Ensuring response grounding and implementing citation strategies.

Healthcare Integration and Interoperability

  • Essential FHIR/SMART concepts for agent connectivity.
  • Processing structured and unstructured clinical data.
  • Implementing eventing, API management, and audit trails.

Safety, Risk Management, and Governance

  • Designing guardrails, red-teaming exercises, and fail-safe mechanisms.
  • Managing PHI, de-identification processes, and access controls.
  • Establishing human-in-the-loop review and escalation pathways.

Evaluation and Monitoring

  • Conducting offline evaluations, creating golden sets, and defining KPIs.
  • Detecting hallucinations and performing factuality checks.
  • Enhancing observability, logging, and managing cost/latency.

Deployment Strategies and Practical Lab

  • Choosing between API-based and on-prem model deployments.
  • Developing a retrieval-augmented agent using LangChain, FastAPI, and ChromaDB.
  • Simulating incident response and executing rollback procedures.

Conclusion and Future Directions
