Stanford Medicine's New Software Enables Clinicians to Chat With Medical Records

Stanford Health Care is piloting an AI tool called ChatEHR that enables clinicians to interact with patient medical records in a conversational format, akin to engaging with large language models. Developed by Stanford Medicine researchers, the tool allows healthcare providers to query patient histories and summarize charts directly from electronic health records, aiming to improve clinical workflows and decision-making. Currently being tested by a group of 33 healthcare professionals, ChatEHR is designed to enhance accuracy and security while reducing the time spent by clinicians on retrieving critical information, thereby allowing more focus on patient care.
