As other health systems have integrated ChatGPT-like technology into their EHRs and had it draft marketing content, Mass General Brigham also sees a lot of potential for large language models, according to CIO Adam Landman, MD.
“We are taking a cautious approach to ensure the safety and efficacy of these tools,” he told Becker’s. “Importantly, our initial use cases involve a human to review and verify the generated content. Also, it is crucial to note that we are using generative AI to augment, not replace, our healthcare providers.”
Mass General Brigham has been exploring its use to categorize and draft In Basket messages for Epic’s MyChart patient portal and generate clinical notes from patient visit recordings. The health system also had generative AI produce an avatar-helmed video promoting a new desktop technology for clinicians after providing it with a script.
“We are also continuing to mature our AI governance to help ensure that AI is used in a way that respects patient privacy and confidentiality, minimizes bias, and adheres to ethical principles,” Dr. Landman said.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
