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.

Microsoft's new AI medical tool, MAI-DxO, has demonstrated an accuracy rate of 85.5% in diagnosing complex medical conditions, significantly outperforming human doctors, who averaged only 20%. Utilizing an AI "orchestrator" that combines capabilities from major tech companies, this tool could potentially reduce diagnostic costs by 20% and is seeking FDA approval for treatment prescriptions. However, its testing methodology has raised concerns about fairness and real-world application, as human doctors were restricted from using external resources during evaluations. The emergence of MAI-DxO highlights a critical turning point in healthcare technology, suggesting that AI could increasingly supplement or even replace human roles in diagnostics.

On June 27, 2025, Mosaic Life Care informed patients of a data security breach involving Oracle Health/Cerner, which was discovered after an unknown party claimed to possess stolen patient information. The breach, traced back to compromised credentials during data migration on Oracle Health/Cerner's systems, affected patient data such as Social Security numbers, treatment details, and insurance information. Although Mosaic's own systems remained secure, the incident underscores the vulnerabilities associated with third-party health technology providers and highlights the need for enhanced security measures in healthcare data management. Healthcare professionals must remain vigilant in addressing potential risks associated with data sharing and third-party services to protect patient privacy.
