I am a doctor and I am sure that ChatGPT will answer better than me. I am also very supportive for AI being a support for me as a professional. I am working in internal medicine, and things change and progress all the time. I am not able to know as much as a machine does. The difference between an AI and a doctor will be the decisions made based on this information. Every action I do or do not do has consequences. You think any AI producer will take any responsibility? As a doctor I am always standing in prison with one foot.
And also any diagnostic & therapeutic procedures can not be taken out of my hand by an AI. It cant resuscitate a person. But I wouldnt mind assistance. Robotics have to come a loooong way before this is going to happen.
And to be clear: I am not talking about ChatGPT as the tool. Someone has to train an AI specifically on precise medical datasets, to give me hints about possible issues with e.g. lab data I don't recognize, because it is maybe specific for some rare disease I didnt have any encounter with beforehand.
Fun fact: I have some foreign colleagues who use ChatGPT to get the base for their patient reports. They give very short(and non personal!) instructions, a nice text pops out, they add in the details. Voila. Their report is better than mine as a native.
Times are crazy
In the end, how is this different than using a good Epic template? Sit down and create a wardrobe of templates and smart-phrases for your reports. It will end up as fast as those ChatGPT texts, but it will be your own writing and details that you control. Epic has several different ways to import and copy other people’s templates, too. You could even use one of those ChatGPT reports to create part of your template if you like.
