How AI can make your next ER visit less stressful
The rise in flu, COVID-19, and RSV cases has significantly strained emergency departments, causing stressful and long wait times. Artificial Intelligence (AI) could potentially reduce these wait times by streamlining hospital processes such as billing and patient medical notes, which currently take up a large portion of clinicians’ time. AI can digitize encounters between patients and clinicians, extracting data from their conversations and converting it to medical notes transferred to records in real time, saving doctors up to three hours per day. The implementation of AI can also contribute to a more personalized and empathetic patient experience by processing vast amounts of medical data for a more comprehensive understanding of each patient’s medical history and needs. Some of the largest health systems in the country are already using AI in emergency departments.
