Jiyoun Song

Dr. Jiyoun Song, PhD, AGACNP-BC, APRN, is a faculty at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. Dr. Song’s research is focused on utilizing artificial intelligence to enhance clinical decision-making. Her primary areas of interest include developing 1) tailored clinical decision support systems for individual patients to improve outcomes and reduce negative events, including rehospitalization, and 2) predictive modeling to identify at-risk patients using multidimensional approaches such as quantitative statistics and machine learning. She possesses extensive experience in managing and processing large datasets, enabling her to make more accurate predictions about patient outcomes. Her current work revolves around extracting valuable information from narrative clinical notes or verbal communication using natural language processing and speech recognition—a subset of artificial intelligence.
