The Greatest Gift of AI and Gen. AI to Healthcare is Time!
From accelerating medical research to improving diagnostics, AI and, in particular, Generative AI (GAI) has had a transformative impact on healthcare. However, perhaps the greatest gift AI has given the healthcare industry is time.
While it was once thought that AI was going to take the human interaction out of medicine, as it turns out, quite the opposite is true. GAI tools are allowing doctors to spend much more quality time with their patients. GAI can streamline workflows for a better patient experience and work-life balance for providers. GAI has given patients more face-to-face interaction with their providers in the exam room and helps ensure their questions and concerns are heard.
To be sure, AI is dramatically speeding up drug trials and other research, but equally as important, it is giving back time to practitioners while still ensuring that the day-to-day tasks, like scheduling, notetaking, record sharing, and billing, can be efficiently completed. In fact, we could say that instead of making healthcare delivered by cold, emotionless machines as was once feared, AI is putting the heart back into healthcare and putting people first.
According to recent studies, over 80% of patients say the biggest problem with their healthcare experience is poor communication, particularly in the exam room.
Providers admit the problems and have always said it was one of time. They must spend endless hours filling out forms, patient notes, writing prescriptions, etc. All of which takes quality time away from patient interaction. In fact, one of the most pressing topics impacting healthcare conversations today is physician burnout. It is found that providers spend 5 hours a day performing administrative tasks.
But GAI is changing all of that. Thanks to Large Language Models (LLMs), GAI tools are streamlining all of these tedious and time-consuming processes, allowing doctors to focus more on care.
For example, Solutions like PRISMA, the healthcare industry’s first health information search engine, use AI to help formulate care plans based on the most relevant patient information while still providing the option to see greater patient detail when needed.
GAI tools have removed the need for notetaking during an appointment. With ambient listening, providers can record the appointment and review a conversation draft summary. The summary easily integrates into the patient’s progress note and recommends the next steps. This removes the device barrier, freeing the provider to spend more ‘stethoscope time’ with patients, meaning additional time for the physical examination with the additional time-savings and reduced administrative workload.
How BigRio Helps Bring LLM and Advanced AI Solutions to Healthcare
We understand the profoundly transformative impact that GAI can have on health providers at the point of care. We are dedicated to giving doctors as well as health administrators back critical time by building GAI-LLM models specific to their organization’s unique targets and needs.
BigRio has long been a facilitator and incubator in leveraging AI to improve healthcare delivery, originally in the field of diagnostics and research. We have recently been focusing our efforts on supporting startups and developing our own solutions that use LLMs and GAI to improve those areas of healthcare, as well as direct patient interactions, customer relationship management, EMR integration, and so much more.
We are proud to have recently launched our proprietary LLM-driven tool, Odyssey Accelerator. It is a first-of-its-kind solution that enables businesses of all sizes who want to use GAI to transform the way they search or query enterprise data, design workflows, derive enterprise analytics, report generation, dashboards, and more, to build a proof of concept before scaling it enterprise-wide.
Leading Digital Health innovator, Vivid Health partnered with BigRio to develop an LLM-driven end-to-end solution that today can assess a patient’s status on any combination of more than 100 chronic conditions across sixteen specialties, generating personalized care plans at scale in under 30 seconds. That’s over 75 million possible care plan combinations in a fraction of the time it typically takes to pull together individualized plans.
Vivid Health’s GAI-driven care management platform is currently the most powerful on the market. Its successful development and deployment stand as a testament to GAI’s potential to enhance the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery.
