AI watchdog aims to catch doctor errors in High-Stakes care
NCT ID NCT07597499
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new AI tool called ANCHOR that acts like a safety checker for doctors treating very sick patients. 240 adults in Ohio, Washington, and Virginia will be randomly assigned to standard care, AI-assisted care, or AI-assisted care plus ANCHOR. The goal is to see if ANCHOR helps reduce mistakes like missed diagnoses or wrong medications.

INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Age 18 years or older. 2. Attributed to a participating Waymark provider (academic medical center, community-hospital network, federally qualified health center, or independent physician practice in Ohio, Washington, or Virginia; full TIN-consolidated list deposited at the Open Science Framework). 3. Meets high-risk multidisciplinary criteria (combined claims-based and clinical: 2 or more emergency-department visits or 1 or more hospitalization in the prior 12 months, 5 or more active medications, 2 or more active specialist relationships, 2 or more chronic conditions, or claims-based equivalents). 4. Encounter occurs in one of the three Waymark service modalities: high-risk primary care, specialty care coordination, or real-time telemedicine urgent care. 5. English-language clinical documentation. 6. Encounter requires clinical reasoning (not administrative-only). EXCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Pediatric (age less than 18 years). 2. Hospice or palliative-care-exclusive care plan. 3. Active psychiatric crisis routed to crisis line. 4. Encounter is administrative only. 5. Pharmacy-only encounter that does not surface a clinical decision to the supervising physician. 6. Encounter where the supervising physician is the principal investigator. 7. Patient enrolled in a competing AI-safety study within the prior 90 days.
