"Your doctor sits across from you, fully present, listeningnot typing or glancing at a screen. Yet every important detail you share makes it into your medical record. This is the vision of Christopher Sharp, a physician at Stanford Health Care and chief medical information officer at Stanford University Medical Center. For Sharp, technology shouldn't create barriers between doctors and patients; it should free clinicians from tiring administrative tasks so they can provide better care. At Stanford,"
"AI provides an important window to access data locked up in narratives somewhere in the record that would be very hard to identify or find. It also provides the opportunity to utilize data in new ways that does not require as much effort by our clinicians. Our clinicians spend a lot of time digging through electronic data, summarizing it and making decisions."
Christopher Sharp envisions clinicians fully present with patients while AI captures and analyzes every important detail into the medical record. He uses AI at Stanford to transcribe and analyze medical histories, unlocking narrative data that are otherwise hard to find. AI can reduce time clinicians spend digging through electronic records and summarizing information, easing documentation burdens required for clinical communication, legal compliance, and billing. Sharp remains an active primary care physician, so clinical practice informs his appraisal of AI’s benefits and risks. He sees technology as a tool to free clinicians from administrative tasks and improve patient care.
