Accuracy without compromise: a programming-inspired solution for EHR workflow redesign in the generative AI Era - Discover Artificial Intelligence

Given the crushing EHR burden, it’s no surprise clinicians call ambient AI a game changer.
It remembers the tiny details we’ve carried in our heads for 20+ years — and suddenly listening to patients gets easier.
But… it’s not the full fix.

People are turning to social media for health advice.
Meet them where they are. Create your own science channel on social media and see what works and what doesn't.
