Summary
Chero Goswami, chief information and digital officer at UW Health, projects that ambient clinical documentation using AI will be standard in healthcare within three years, with a rollout planned for all clinicians in the next 12 to 18 months. Currently, a pilot program involving fewer than 100 clinicians has been ongoing for six months, allowing the health system to refine the technology before its broader implementation in 2025. This measured approach aims to enhance clinician-patient interactions and reduce administrative burdens, thus improving patient care while ensuring the technology meets the needs of both healthcare providers and patients.
