Summary
Stephon Proctor has developed CHIPPER, a significant integration of AI into the Epic electronic health record (EHR) system, which allows healthcare professionals to access real-time patient insights directly within the platform. This innovation streamlines workflows and reduces inefficiencies associated with switching between applications, aiming to improve clinical decision-making and patient care. By employing a Model Context Protocol (MCP) layer alongside Anthropic's Claude Code, CHIPPER leverages real-time data such as encounters and lab results without the need for extensive resources, demonstrating the potential for smaller informatics teams to implement advanced AI solutions in healthcare settings. The seamless integration not only enhances user experience but also sets a precedent for future AI-driven tools within EHR systems.
