Article Excerpt: In much the same way people can “chat” with large language models like GPT-4, Stanford Health Care clinicians can now interact with a patient’s medical records through an artificial intelligence-backed software called ChatEHR.
The technology, currently in a pilot stage, enables them to ask questions about a patient’s medical history, automatically summarize charts and perform other tasks. ChatEHR uses information from individual’s health records to provide its response.
“AI can augment the practice of physicians and other health care providers, but it’s not helpful unless it’s embedded in their workflow and the information the algorithm is using is in a medical context,” said Nigam Shah, MBBS, PhD, chief data science officer at Stanford Health Care, who led the team in developing the technology. “ChatEHR is secure; it’s pulling directly from relevant medical data; and it’s built into the electronic medical record system, making it easy and accurate for clinical use.”
