From Documentation to Discovery: AI’s Expanding Role in Healthcare

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.
