ChatGPT can identify what changed since a previous visit, surface recent lab results, track medication changes and highlight unresolved follow-ups, according to OpenAI. The system points users back to supporting information in the chart.
The integration supports bringing EHR information into ChatGPT and, in some deployments, putting ChatGPT directly inside the EHR interface. The connection is read-only, meaning ChatGPT can retrieve and analyze patient information but cannot write information back into the record, TechCrunch reported. Epic holds data for more than 325 million patients, according to the report.
OpenAI said physicians evaluated the system across 27 clinical use cases, including pre-visit reviews, medication reviews, clinical timelines and handoff summaries. Physicians rated 99.1% of responses safe across 4,363 evaluations.
