The Impact of AI on EHRs and Healthcare Regulation
Electronic health records company Epic is utilizing AI and ambient listening technology to enhance patient-provider interactions. The AI tools developed by Epic allow physicians to generate progress notes from patient-provider conversations, draft responses to patient questions, and provide updates on patient information since their last visit. The outcomes of implementing these AI tools include significant time savings for physicians, improved documentation quality, and more empathetic responses to patients. Epic is also using AI to assist with medical coding, streamlining the coding workflow and reducing administrative overhead for healthcare organizations.
