I'm sorry did I read this shit right? It's coming to what? And doing what? This is the worst possible application. This is going to end up killing someone, especially with the bias that is already extremely prevalent in medicine. I hope Microsoft and Nuance are prepared for the potential of roping themselves into a landmark AI biomedical ethics court case.
This is for dragon, an integration with epic that started as voice to text for patient notes, allowing for notes on patients to be entered quickly. This wouldn’t necessarily replace any notes, but allow doctors to put their notes in digital records faster.
Already epic supports many macro template workflows, allowing common diagnosis/procedures to have their own templates for doctors to fill in.
Typically these workflows are made by the doctors using them, this would just be an ai aiding the same process
