What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

OpenAI is piloting the integration of patient records from Epic into its ChatGPT for Healthcare platform with UCSF Health. This integration allows authorized clinicians to pull in patient information, including lab results, appointment notes, and medications, to ask the AI to summarize a patient's history or identify changes. The integration is read-only, meaning the AI cannot write back into a patient's record.
