Garrett Adams, a lead software developer for AI projects at Epic Systems, said the company’s software employs generative AI across approximately 100 different applications. These include assisting nurses with drafting patient communications and summarizing patient medical histories.
Health systems such as UNC Health in Chapel Hill, UC San Diego Health, UW Health in Madison, and Stanford Health Care in Palo Alto, Calif., are piloting Epic’s AI tool, which helps providers asynchronously draft responses to patient messages. According to Mr. Adams, Epic is actively working to enhance this tool’s capabilities.
Upcoming features under development include analyzing recorded patient conversations to automatically identify necessary lab orders and creating a specialized version of the tool tailored specifically for nurses.
