Artificial Intelligence in action

"I just looked at the notes from previous appointments, and it appears they use a template that is populated with quite a bit of data, and only a subset of data is changed with each appointment. I can see where errors would occur when data is carried over and not updated with current information."
-------------------------
Can artificial intelligence integrate with EPIC somehow? All of the data in my electronic medical records from my previous visits are carried forward to the present as if nothing ever changes. Very little information is based on the present. I have a long medical history so the data that is collected is extensive. By my estimate, 99% of what is documented is about prior visits and maybe 1% is about the present visit.
My medical problem list still has, "history of long term and current use of prednisone." Long term use is true but not current use. Would artificial intelligence catch this and update my medical problem list?

That's interesting that you bring up EPIC. I wasn't familiar with Epic until you mentioned it, but when I googled "can artificial intelligence process epic medical records" there were a lots of matches, including several from Epic. Here is an interesting article that probably describes what is going on at my rheumatologist's office, where the AI listens and then summarizes the office visit - https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/how-epic-using-ai-change-way-ehrs-work. In that article the Epic head of research says the doctors using AI should make sure humans are making the final decisions.
It's interesting too where you say prednisone is listed as one of your medical problems. In my medical chart, GCA, prednisone, and Actemra are listed as my major medical issues.
