Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) is among early users who are piloting artificial intelligence (AI) solutions that are helping physicians spend more time with patients and less time in front of a screen, and has already trained more than 480 doctors to use the system.
“We are finding solutions like this are decreasing the…burden and time constraints on our colleagues and making their work lives easier,” said Matthew Zimmie, MD, MSHI, chief medical informatics officer for NGHS. “That’s a win for everyone, because we believe less-stressed clinicians leads to better work-life balance, higher engagement and improved care for patients.”
The program has been in use for almost a month.
“We have the tools to give clinicians more time with their patients and more control over their day,” said Matt Hanley, MD, president and CEO of NGHS. “It’s how we’re working to retain and recruit the best and brightest people to improve the health of our community in all we do.”
