Boston Hospitals and Physicians Embrace Generative AI ChatGPT For Medical Tasks
Boston hospitals, physicians, and medical educators are all integrating ChatGPT’s generative artificial intelligence capabilities into their workflows, according to a recent report. Boston interventional radiologist, Dr. Sahil Mehta, recently used ChatGPT to craft an insurance claim denial appeal which took just a few seconds to generate, compared to the 20-30 minutes it would take to write manually. Boston Children’s Hospital plans to hire a ChatGPT engineer, while MedSchoolCoach, an educational company based in Boston, uses large language models to digest medical textbooks and create study aids for students.
Dr. Mehta posits that generative AI has the potential to significantly boost morale, documentation, and patient care by enabling doctors to spend less time on paperwork and more time with patients. Meanwhile, John Brownstein, PhD, chief innovation officer of Boston Children’s Hospital, describes the potential use of AI in optimizing the provision of clinical support to patients as the holy grail, noting that the process of leveraging the technology must be approached with thoughtfulness.
Overall, Boston is leading the way when it comes to the integration of generative AI in the healthcare industry, with both physicians and educators making strides to incorporate advanced technology into their workflows.
