The premise
AI can scan culture data for unusual co-occurrences faster than weekly chart pulls — but cluster confirmation requires the IP nurse and lab director.
What AI does well here
- Flag organism-unit-time co-occurrences worth investigating
- Pull line/device days for context
- Draft the rounds worksheet
What AI cannot do
- Confirm an outbreak
- Issue control measures
- Replace molecular epidemiology
