Popis: The Protecting Access to Medicare Act mandates clinical decision support (CDS) at imaging order entry, necessitating the use of structured indications to map CDS scores. We evaluated the performance of a commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) tool leveraging free-text order entry to facilitate provider selection of the necessary structured indications.Our institution implemented an AI tool offering predicted structured indications based upon the ordering provider's entry of a free-text reason for examination. Providers remained able to order via the traditional direct search for structured indications. Alternatively, they could take the new free-text-AI approach allowing them to select from AI-predicted indications, perform additional direct searches, indicate no matching indication, or exit CDS workflow. We hypothesized the free-text-AI approach would be elected more often and the AI tool would be successful in facilitating selection of structured indications. We reviewed advanced imaging orders (n = 40,053) for the first 3 months (February to May 2020) since implementation.Providers were more likely (P.001) to choose the free-text-AI approach (23,580; 58.9%) to order entry over direct search for structured indications (16,473; 41.1%). The AI tool yielded alerts with predicted indications in 91.7% (n = 21,631) of orders with free text. Ultimately, providers chose AI-predicted indications in 57.7% (n = 12,490) of cases in which they were offered by the tool.Providers significantly more often elected the new free-text-AI approach to order entry for CDS, suggesting provider preference over the traditional approach. The AI tool commonly predicted indications acceptable to ordering providers.
