Summary
At the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Dr. Stephon Proctor has developed CHIPPER, an EHR Virtual Agent integrated into the Epic system, significantly enhancing clinical workflows by incorporating a HIPAA-compliant large language model. This tool allows clinicians to access real-time patient data and various external resources without switching applications, thus streamlining their work processes. Developed in collaboration with Microsoft, CHIPPER leverages advanced technologies to demonstrate how effective digital solutions can emerge even from smaller teams. The innovation not only showcases the practical use of AI in healthcare but also highlights the importance of integrating technology within existing systems to improve efficiency and patient care.
