Enhancing physician practice with strategic AI tools

Dermatologist Michael Sherling discusses his KevinMD article, "Where physicians need to implement AI first." In this episode, Michael examines the potential of artificial intelligence to alleviate administrative burdens in health care, such as documentation management and patient collaboration. He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing AI tools that deliver high value with minimal risk, starting with patient-facing applications that streamline appointment scheduling and routine inquiries. Michael also explores the challenges of integrating AI into clinical workflows, the risks of biased or poor-quality data, and the necessity of maintaining a personal touch in patient care. Additionally, he offers actionable strategies for physicians to effectively implement AI solutions that enhance practice efficiency, reduce staff burnout, and ultimately allow doctors to focus more on patient interactions.
