Microsoft and Epic Systems partner to integrate OpenAI's GPT-4 into electronic healthcare records through the Azure AI platform. The collaboration focuses on reducing administrative burdens and increasing productivity so that clinicians have more time to focus directly on their patients.
The integration incorporates generative AI into Epic's SlicerDicer self-service reporting tool, allowing physicians to explore medical data using natural language queries. This conversational approach helps doctors investigate medical hunches and analyze the impact of chronic conditions in their communities without needing complex technical skills.
Healthcare organizations also use these AI tools to identify operational improvements and reduce costs. Microsoft and Epic are already piloting these OpenAI services at several healthcare systems to streamline workflows and deliver more personalized care through better-informed clinical decisions.
