Over the last two years of the Wellcome Leap project, the Department has developed innovative artificial intelligence–based models that predict the risk of opioid use disorder (OUD) using electronic health record data. These models were developed using the All of Us Research Program dataset and externally validated on Veterans Affairs multi-center data. The team is currently validating the models for predicting persistent opioid use and OUD after surgery, as well as identifying potential patients for in-patient addiction consults. The next step is to leverage these models on the tens of millions of patient records available in Epic Cosmos, the largest federated electronic health record database in the United States.
