Integrating Azure OpenAI GPT-4 into EHR Systems

Healthcare providers increasingly turn to generative AI to improve Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and relieve clinicians of administrative burdens. This white paper presents a detailed case for integrating Azure OpenAI GPT-4 into EHR systems, highlighting practical benefits, compliance, and comparisons with alternate solutions such as Google Med-PaLM 2. It is tailored for IT decision-makers and healthcare leaders evaluating AI integration. Key advantages include automated clinical note generation, streamlined patient communication, and enhanced report summarization. These capabilities promise to reduce the documentation workload and improve patient care significantly. Responsible AI use is essential in this context. Our approach emphasizes human oversight (with clinicians in the loop), comprehensive audit trails, and strict compliance with privacy regulations like HIPAA. We substantiate our insights with evidence from industry pilots (Epic's GPT-4 integration, Nuance DAX Express, HCA’s Med-PaLM 2 trial) and highlight Batoi’s technical ability to rapidly deploy such features with its Rapid Application Development (RAD) platform.
