VA AI Assist
Description
Reviewing information about a patient prior to an upcoming encounter is an important way in which clinicians prepare for an effective visit. Clinicians are challenged to effectively complete this review prior to encounters, given time constraints and the manual effort required to navigate electronic health record systems to seek the information. This results in a lower effectiveness of the visit and increased clinician burnout.
