Stanford Health Care reports primary care providers find value in AI tools generating imaging result explanations.
Key Details
- 1Stanford developed an EHR-integrated AI tool that drafts comments on radiology, pathology, and lab findings.
- 2A survey was conducted among primary care providers (PCPs) using the tool.
- 3Nearly 85% of clinicians found the tool user-friendly.
- 463% believed it was particularly helpful for imaging results, and 72% for lab results.
- 5Clinicians reported improved efficiency and higher-quality explanations, but flagged issues with accuracy and completeness.
Why It Matters
Primary care providers increasingly interact with imaging results; AI-generated, easy-to-understand explanations may enhance communication and efficiency. Adoption could help bridge knowledge gaps, but ensuring accuracy is crucial for clinical trust and patient safety.
