AI-Enabled Pharmacy Workflow in Clinical Trials

Brief and project description

Generative-AI–assisted workflow to auto-draft pharmacy clinical trial summary sheets, replacing largely manual preparation

Quantified impact

Time cut by 80% (148 → 30 minutes per summary).
Net monetary benefit ≈ $423 per task; ~US$30,000 per year for six pharmacists.
Long-run mean discounted NMB ≈ US$294k; never crosses break-even in sensitivity analysis.

Strategy

Use prompt-engineered generative AI to produce protocol summaries aligned with pharmacist templates.
Compare manual vs AI-assisted preparation times and associated labor costs

Design

Parallel completion of summaries by pharmacists manually and with AI assistance.
Cost-effectiveness and cost-avoidance analysis, 10‑year Monte Carlo simulation of economic scenarios

Client

Hospital pharmacy/clinical trials unit (Mayo Clinic)
