41. Suki AI Review with Steven Waldren MD, AAFP Chief Informatics Officer

Electronic health records (EHR) are being used more and more around the world over the past decade. As a result, adding clinical documentation to the already long list of duties doctors have to perform every day is a major source of stress for them.

 


The American Academy of Family Physicians established an Innovation Laboratory to address the frustration of EHR documentation burden by utilizing AI and machine-learning tools. Today, our special guest, Dr. Steven Waldren, AAFP vice president and the Academy's chief medical informatics officer, tells us more about Suki, an AI-powered, voice-enabled digital assistant for doctors. Moreover, he cites a study that showed how Suki helped streamline administrative tasks.


 


What we're talking about is a solution that has to be wrapped in the way that's adoptable, usable, fits in with workflow, can actually be used. - Steven Waldren MD
