A pharmacist-overseen AI system for provider organizations could reduce prescriber workload and increase first-pass approval rates by automating routine data extraction and submissions while routing complex cases to pharmacists.

Published September 1, 2026 in Journal of Managed Care & Specialty Pharmacy, this viewpoint proposes a pharmacist-overseen, AI-enabled prior authorization model for provider organizations and health systems. It outlines a conceptual workflow where AI automates routine data extraction and submissions and routes complex cases to pharmacists for clinical verification.

Artificial intelligence-based algorithms improve quantification of breast arterial calcifications detected on screening mammography and strengthen their prognostic value for cardiovascular risk in women.

This narrative review examined recent evidence on breast arterial calcifications found incidentally on screening mammography as a potential biomarker of systemic cardiovascular risk in women. It covered observational studies, cohorts, meta-analyses, and studies using artificial intelligence for automated quantification of calcific burden.

Forest kernel balancing that builds kernels from random forest and BART leaf co-occurrence improves computational and statistical performance for balancing covariates in observational causal inference by prioritizing outcome-relevant nonlinearities and interactions.

Researchers proposed forest kernel balancing as a way to choose which features to balance in observational causal inference. The approach uses kernels implicitly estimated by random forests and Bayesian additive regression trees from co-occurrence in the same terminal leaf node, then balances a summary of that kernel to indirectly learn important nonlinearities and interactions.

Machine learning-supported body composition analysis applied to CT imaging quantifies radiologic sarcopenia and enables risk stratification for survival after first-line immunochemotherapy in newly diagnosed DLBCL.

In patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma from the PETAL trial, investigators used machine learning-supported body composition analysis of CT imaging to measure skeletal muscle mass. Those in the lowest tertile had inferior survival after adjustment for established risk factors, with cause-specific analyses pointing to nonrelapse mortality rather than lymphoma-specific death.

Inefficient low-power field target detection, reflected in longer fixation duration on the LPF main object, predicts lower diagnostic accuracy, while traditional years of professional experience fails to predict accuracy in digital cytology.

Researchers eye-tracked 100 cytotechnologists diagnosing 30 digital cytology images and then tracked 28 students before and after a 3-month training program. They found years of experience did not predict accuracy, while shorter fixation on the low-power field main object did, and students markedly improved time to first target fixation and reduced background attention after training.

There are few controlled clinical trials that directly compare AI tools to traditional medical literature and clinical experience for hypertension on key endpoints of real clinical value to prove superiority.

By August 2026, peer-reviewed discussion in Giornale Italiano di Cardiologia described AI as entering hypertension care, able to give simple and well-documented answers to management questions for practicing physicians, while also being explored in research to identify secondary hypertension and predict future hypertension and complications such as heart failure.

Responses showed comparatively lower inclusivity, high reading complexity, and lacked nuance for complex or individualized clinical scenarios.

In this cross-sectional study published August 1 2026, researchers asked GPT-4 via ChatGPT to answer 20 common psychosis psychoeducation questions sourced from a first-episode psychosis programme, then had two psychosis experts independently rate the answers on accuracy, clarity, inclusivity, completeness, clinical utility and overall quality.

Implementing AI in radiology education is constrained by high costs, rapid pace of technological change, and risks of bias, error, and data privacy violations.

This 2026 RadioGraphics review examines how artificial intelligence, especially generative models, could be applied across radiology education from curriculum planning to implementation and evaluation using Harden's 10-step framework.
