April 23, 2025
In a recent episode of The AI Revolution in Medicine, Revisited podcast, Epic’s Seth Hain and Microsoft’s Dr. Matt Lungren discuss how generative AI is supporting clinicians, enhancing communication, and opening new frontiers in research.
Generative AI is reshaping clinical workflows and healthcare software development. In a recent episode of The AI Revolution in Medicine, Revisited, host Peter Lee speaks with Epic’s Seth Hain and Microsoft’s Dr. Matt Lungren about the real-world progress of AI in medicine—and how early predictions about AI in healthcare are playing out.
They explore areas such as:
- Integrated AI features that support clinical documentation and streamline patient messaging, reducing administrative effort and helping clinicians focus on care.
- Decision support tools that assist with follow-up orders, nurse handoffs, and coding—all built directly into the software clinicians already use.
- Increasing adoption across the Epic community, with more than 150 AI-enabled capabilities in development and over 300 health systems live.
The conversation also looks ahead to what’s next—from multimodal AI in imaging and pathology to new ways of bringing population-level insights to the point of care—helping clinicians make more informed decisions and accelerating the pace of medical research.
