About the study
The primary objective is to assess if an AI-generated plain language summary of an inpatient progress note can improve caregiver understanding of their child's hospitalization by measuring differences in Hospital Course Comprehension scores, based on their responses to a survey regarding their child's hospital course.
Secondary objectives include exploring the caregiver's perspective on the use of AI in clinical care, as well as 7-day and 30-day readmission rates, 7-day and 30-day emergency department (ED) re-utilization rates, length of stay, and environmental impact measures.
