Summary
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming electronic health records (EHRs) from a documentation burden into tools for clinical intelligence, enhancing efficiency and addressing clinician burnout. Health systems like Mass General Brigham are leading this evolution with AI-powered solutions such as ambient documentation tools to improve provider satisfaction and workflow. Concurrently, Stanford Health Care is testing ChatEHR, an AI assistant designed to facilitate natural language interactions with EHRs, thereby reducing cognitive load for clinicians. This shift highlights the growing trend among health systems and vendors to adopt innovative technologies in healthcare.
