I’m sorry did I read this shit right? It’s coming to what? And doing what? This is the worst possible application. This is going to end up killing someone, especially with the bias that is already extremely prevalent in medicine. I hope Microsoft and Nuance are prepared for the potential of roping themselves into a landmark AI biomedical ethics court case.
This is for dragon, an integration with epic that started as voice to text for patient notes, allowing for notes on patients to be entered quickly. This wouldn’t necessarily replace any notes, but allow doctors to put their notes in digital records faster.
Already epic supports many macro template workflows, allowing common diagnosis/procedures to have their own templates for doctors to fill in.
Typically these workflows are made by the doctors using them, this would just be an ai aiding the same process
It still feels very bad to implement in this medical setting whatsoever right now in its current state. Not to be a luddite, but it’s just far too risky no matter how small it may be in that industry. I know it’s a given and it’s already being done regardless though.

More than Epic software already does, at any rate. There’s been a few deaths related to the Epic system that Helsinki bought, apparently mainly due to absolutely hideous UX. Eg. one person’s cancer diagnosis went “missing” for almost two years, and when their doctor finally saw it it was too late. In general the system is more or less universally hated by everyone except the people responsible for buying it
