This idea of futuristic and lifelike computers is only encouraged by the way that a lot of what we talk about in AI are possibilities. Ideal scenarios of how much our lives could be improved with AI. However, not all of AI is futuristic sci-fi. In fact, there is a lot of AI that is already being used in healthcare. To help keep us grounded in what is currently happening, at the CHIME 2023 Conference we talked to our wonderful Healthcare IT Today Community to hear their insights on some of the uses of AI being used today. The video below is a compilation of their answers.

There’s a whole lot of great information about patient data, whether it’s lab records, information, medications, referrals, and all of that which doesn’t necessarily exist instantly in the EHR systems. So converting these and leveraging AI from the NLP in terms of classifying extraction, I think those are the types of use cases I see...
