SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Why some hospitals are making their own ChatGPTs for patient records
To make the most of his 30-minute appointments with patients, Penn Medicine Chief Health Information Officer Srinath Adusumalli goes through his patients’ charts the day before to figure out why they are seeing him, a cardiologist. To do that, he has to navigate multiple tabs in the electronic health record: prior appointments, prior labs and imaging tests, as well as scanned documents from other hospitals.
Earlier this month, Penn Medicine introduced a tool called Chart Hero that aims to cut this work by letting clinicians query and summarize the patient’s medical record with an artificial intelligence chatbot-like interface. Currently, around 70 Penn clinicians in different specialties are testing it out.
Stanford Health Care last year launched ChatEHR, a similar, internally built tool that integrates with Stanford’s Epic electronic health record. As of mid-January, it was being used by 1,450 clinicians out of roughly 7,000 eligible users. The two health systems are not alone: Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc Hospital in Brussels, Belgium, implemented a similar homegrown system, and teams at Duke Health and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia are developing similar applications.
