Artificial Intelligence

With Epic, Generative AI seamlessly integrates into your Electronic Health Record (EHR), revolutionizing the way we operate. Our HIPAA-compliant pipeline effortlessly incorporates state-of-the-art language models, like GPT-4, enabling your team to break free from time-consuming, repetitive tasks and focus on what truly matters. Watch our video below to see how AI personalizes patient responses, streamlines handoff summaries, and provides up-to-date insights for your providers.

Seth Hain, SVP of R&D at Epic, joins a16z Bio + Health general partner Julie Yoo to explore technology in healthcare. Reflecting on over two decades of industry shifts, Seth shares how Epic has transitioned from enabling integrated systems within health systems to driving cross-ecosystem collaboration and rapid innovations like generative AI.

"We must do what we can to become AI experts ourselves, and we must foster a culture of experimentation and trust in our organizations so that our staff can learn from AI as well. The future of AI in healthcare is bright, especially with clinicians leading the way.” - Stephanie Klein Nagelvoort Schuit, Vice President, Board of Directors and Professor of Health Care Innovation, Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen

Sumit Rana, R&D, discusses how the system uses AI to generate progress notes, create draft responses to patient questions, and assist with medical coding. And how AI sometimes can be more empathetic than a person.

In this episode of Healthcare Strategies: Industry Perspectives, Sean McGunigal, director of artificial intelligence at Epic, shares insights on the EHR vendor's approach to responsible AI implementation. He also describes key use cases demonstrating value and how healthcare organizations can navigate AI adoption at scale.

In this episode of This Week Health, Seth Hain, R&D, discusses the impact of AI and ambient technologies on healthcare, focusing on efficiency, patient care, and ethical considerations of data privacy. The conversation highlights AI's current contributions and future potential in diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient engagement.

Health systems can use the tool to validate AI models that integrate with EHR systems, including models developed by Epic as well as other those developed by other organizations. As AI best practices are developed, the open-source framework will enable organizations to bring in those standards and practices alongside the AI validation capabilities.

Sean McGunigal, R&D, discusses the various AI announcements made at Users Group Meeting including improving administrative workflows, using Cosmos AI, and Epic’s approach to implementing AI, “We feel pretty bullish that this AI is going to save folks from a lot of frustration and slowdown.”

Many of Epic’s announcements centered around how the company is integrating artificial intelligence into these products. Faulkner said the company has more than 100 AI features in the works, though many of the tools are still in the early stages of development. For instance, by the end of this year, Epic said its generative AI will help doctors revise message responses, letters and instructions into plain language that patients can understand. Doctors will be able to use AI to automatically queue up orders for prescriptions and labs, the company said.
