Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the healthcare industry with its increasing capabilities in supporting patient care. Its numerous applications are paving the way to a more personalized, efficient, and proactive approach.
By embracing AI, we’re driving quality care and improving patient outcomes. Large language models, like generative AI, are leading to substantial advancements and are setting the stage for a healthcare revolution.
eClinicalWorks® (eCW), for example, has taken a lead in this revolution. Just last year, eCW integrated its EHR and Practice Management solutions with cognitive services and machine learning models from Azure OpenAI Service to combine advances in generative AI models with eCW solutions.
Generative AI in the Healthcare Industry
Generative AI is a subset of artificial intelligence that leverages machine learning models to generate data. It can help healthcare practices and hospitals by freeing clinical staff from administrative tasks so they can focus on their patients. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits that generative AI brings to the table.
The Benefits of Integrating Generative AI into the EHR
- Streamline Administrative Tasks: The integration can enhance healthcare by optimizing workflows from scheduling and documentation to health record search. It minimizes administrative tasks and manual entry of patient data, by analyzing large amounts of medical data.
- Natural Language Processing Technology: eCW introduced the industry’s first conversational EHR, in which users will be able to collect relevant patient information by asking questions in natural language.
- Enhanced Patient Interaction and Improved Provider Satisfaction: AI helps in addressing issues like physician burnout and access to care. It automates time-consuming administrative tasks, freeing providers to spend more time with their patients, enhancing productivity, and improving work-life balance.
Thanks to generative AI integration into the EHR, a healthcare revolution is underway. It helps improve efficiency, accuracy, and patient outcomes, revolutionizing the realm of healthcare.
