Health Research Implementation Services

Our health research implementation services are available to all U-M researchers who have developed models in need of prospective validation, workflow integration and clinical trials.

Building a machine learning model is the first step in the journey of testing your research at Michigan Medicine. You’ll need help integrating it for prospective validation, defining workflow integration, and navigating the steps needed to approve clinical testing. We have the systems, processes, and expertise needed to move your research forward!

Early Implementation Consultation

We are available to meet with you early in your research to help plan for integration.

The AI & Digital Health Innovation Research Implementation Team consults with researchers to understand their models, the expected impact of their models, identify potential challenges with translating their model prospectively and determine how to overcome those challenges. We also provide support for writing research implementation services into proposals to enhance grant proposals.

Prospective Data Integration

We deliver real time health data from Michigan Medicine to our researcher’s AI models for prospective model validation.

Our Research Implementation Services Team will help you navigate options to integrate your model with the appropriate data pipelines. A successful prospective validation can lead to next steps including:

  • - Human Centered Design Sprints

  • - Workflow Integration

  • - Clinical Trials

“The MPrOVE team developed the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) model to predict if each specific surgical case is appropriate for surgery at an ASC. Precision Health provided the technical skills and expertise needed to supported prospective model validation. They are amazing partners helping the digital health research community apply practical solutions to the challenges of clinical teams.”

Workflow Integration

AI & Digital Health Innovation is a trusted services partner for testing models within Michigan Medicine. Request our support for guiding you down the path of developing workflows to maximize the clinical impact of your model!

Integrating a model into the clinical workflow at Michigan Medicine is a complicated process with many touch points including IRB, Michigan Medicine’s Health Information Technology & Services (HITS), the Clinical Intelligence Committee (CIC), Epic, hospitalists, nurses, and more.

We are here to guide you through these challenging pathways and to leverage our evidence-based approach to implement AI models into workflows for testing at Michigan Medicine.

Our team can help with:

  • Connecting to subject matter experts and clinical champions within Michigan Medicine

  • Guiding teams down the path of developing appropriate workflows to maximize clinical impact

  • Coaching research teams prior to clinical operational governance committees

  • IRB guidance and consultation

  • Planning design sessions with clinicians, nurses, and support staff

  • Exploring options to display and alert in MiChart
