📣 Excited to share our real-world study of an LLM clinical copilot, a collab between @OpenAI and @PendaHealth.

Across 39,849 live patient visits, clinicians with AI had a 16% relative reduction in diagnostic errors and a 13% reduction in treatment errors vs. those without. 🧵

Our study in @JAMA_current estimates Dobbs ruling significantly increased travel times for U.S. servicewomen seeking abortions. However, we find that <1,000 may travel for an abortion annually and it would cost <$1M to reimburse their travel - a fraction of DOD’s health budget.

Study quantifies the change in travel times for military service personnel to abortion facilities following the Dobbs decision and estimates the cost of an abortion-related travel reimbursement policy. ja.ma/3u9o9Mp
