In September 2023, UCSF launched GenAI Office Hours, led by Academic Research Services and the UCSF Versa Tiger Team. This bi-weekly series fosters community, knowledge sharing, and explores AI applications within UCSF’s diverse workflows. Presenters from the community generously share their experiences and use cases with GenAI tools. Participants span a broad spectrum of roles, including professors, leadership, IT support staff, researchers, educators, and clinical practitioners.

ChatGSPP is an AI-powered chatbot developed by the Goldman School of Public Policy that intelligently navigates information about our faculty, staff, programs, and research initiatives. This interactive demo will showcase how we've implemented a conversational interface that analyzes user queries, retrieves appropriate content from our existing web resources, and delivers responses with proper source attribution.

RSS has developed an innovative AI-driven, no-code, cloud-based platform to revolutionize digital transformation, addressing compliance requirements like accessibility and cyber security. The platform combines no-code development, AI automation, predictive analytics, and natural language data querying. It enables rapid development of web and native mobile solutions.

Achieving Zero Harm by preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is a priority for UC Health. The Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) is the primary measure used by NHSN to risk-adjust HAIs, but access to protected health information (PHI) is restricted, limiting broad data accessibility. Additionally, no dynamic SIR data source existed in the Scuba Data Warehouse for enterprise reporting. To address this, we developed an automated tool, eliminating manual NHSN exports and processing.

Tired of the time-consuming process of crafting user stories? In this session, we'll explore how AI can revolutionize your user story development. We'll delve into real-world examples, like the "eFile Plus" project, where AI was successfully used to generate user stories, resulting in increased efficiency and improved project outcomes.

In response to a directive, the Nursing Informatics and Salesforce engineering team developed a robust Digital Rounding Utility (DRU) to replace the existing patient experience tool. The project aimed to create a more efficient and integrated system to enhance patient care and streamline operations. Remarkably, within 60 days, we designed, built, and launched the initial version of DRU, featuring basic functionality, manual processes, and minimal reporting capabilities.

As generative AI rapidly reshapes higher education, faculty are looking for real, ethical, and practical ways to adapt. This session offers a firsthand look at how interdisciplinary courses at UCLA have successfully integrated AI—from biomedical sciences to humanities—while preserving academic integrity and improving student engagement. Attendees will explore proven strategies, tools, and frameworks used to empower faculty, redesign assignments, and support students in becoming critical users of AI.

UC San Diego Health is reimagining how healthcare systems operate by integrating artificial intelligence, automation, and real-time dashboards to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and support high reliability. This session shares how our Clinical Quality Improvement and Patient Safety teams partnered with data and technology experts to streamline manual processes—such as quality measure abstraction and CMS reporting—through the use of large language models and smart dashboards.

Versa, developed by our AI Tiger Team, is an enterprise-scale AI platform. Meant to secure access to frontier generative-AI (gen-AI) technologies, Versa enhances operations by streamlining text-based workflows for thousands of users. Versa is a platform of products: Versa API supports advanced AI research demands with protected clinical and business data; chatbot-style interactions with LLMs via Versa Chat and Versa Mobile, and our Versa Assistant RAG-based service supports development of dedicated, AI-powered interfaces for protected datastores, knowledgebases, and enterprise content.
