Raw LLM Responses

Epic is already working on this. Execs at a hospital I work at said they’ve seen some prototypes with ChatGPT connected to Epic (a major electronic medical record) and it acts like a chart search. For example: when was patients last colonoscopy, findings? And you get your result. You’d be surprised how many clicks that would take normally. It would essentially take a very time consuming process (chart checking) and make it far more efficient. Plus writing notes for us, which would be heaven. Edit: Great discussion below. I’ll emphasize that medicine is a lot more grey area than people think. The knowledge required to know when answers are accurate vs not necessitates advanced training (MDs, DOs). But right now, we are spending far more time doing scut work than clinical decision making and that is where I believe AI will make the biggest impact in the short to medium term.
