Fierce Health Technology July 7, 2020
The American Academy of Family Physicians believes emerging technologies could be the key to addressing doctors’ biggest administrative headaches.
The physicians’ group is looking to recruit 100 doctors to test out startup Suki’s voice-enabled, artificial intelligence-powered clinical digital assistant that helps with tedious documentation tasks when using electronic health records (EHR) systems.
According to AAFP, many family physicians see EHRs as an impediment to patient care, putting a computer in that sacred space between them and their patients.
“The family medicine experience is based on a deep patient-physician interaction that requires support from technology. Today’s EHRs have greatly eroded the experience rather than enhancing it,” Steven Waldren, M.D., AAFP vice president and chief medical informatics officer, said in a statement.
