Two longtime friends are pioneering the use of generative artificial intelligence in health systems nearly 900 miles apart.
Cleveland Clinic Chief Information Officer Matthew Kull and Jacksonville, Florida-based Baptist Health Chief Digital and Information Officer Aaron Miri are working with Microsoft to brainstorm administrative and clinical functions for GPT-4 in their organizations Are. Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, which developed GPT-4 and ChatGPT, in January.
Kull said, “When Aaron and I talked, it made sense to us: Let’s see how far we can push this in the least amount of time available.”

Healthcare provider organizations, which are generally slow adopters of technology, running equipment Powered by Generative Artificial Intelligence at blazing speed. Vendors and investors excited about potential: Electronic health record giant Epic Systems Implementing Generative AI functionality in its EHRthe company said in April. Microsoft subsidiary Nuance Communications, a clinical documentation software company, said in March Integrating GPT-4 Voice-to-Text Capabilities into the EHR, two venture capital firms, General Catalyst and Andreessen Horowitz, Gave $50 Million to a Productive AI Company Tuesday without product.
At the same time, industry stakeholders—and AI developers—have expressed concerns about the privacy and security of the tool. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told a congressional hearing on Tuesday that AI needs to be regulated by the government.
Total and Miri, who are working together on the use cases, said they are seeking to responsibly implement generative AI tools as they hit the gas pedal. In the past, the innovation process in health systems could take years, but coming up with an idea for how to use GPT-4 and building a proof of concept happened over the course of weeks, Kull said.
“In about 30 days, we have a product that both of our teams are working to incorporate into workflows and partner with their respective clinician champions,” Miri said.
At the 22-hospital Cleveland Clinic, Total’s team in partnership with Microsoft developed three specific use cases for the technology: from patient charts to quality registry reports, from clinical reports to summarizing large amounts of data Extracting discrete information and writing code to create programs that can quickly integrate health apps with electronic health records. Kull said clinical use cases will probably live until the summer, while the coding capacity could be used sooner.
At seven-hospital Baptist, Miri’s team also developed three use cases: providing administrative support by summarizing meetings, analyzing data and records to provide diagnostic information, and deriving relevant information from big data sources. Doing. Miri said he expects to conduct use cases at selected sites by the end of summer.
“I showed [these use cases] And all the physicians at the Baptist Physician Leadership Retreat said, ‘After all, this is what we were looking for,'” Miri said.
