HCA Healthcare, the largest for-profit hospital chain in the United States, is planning to expand the use of an artificial intelligence tool to document doctor-patient interactions in its emergency rooms.
The plans for a broader roll out of the AI tool across its network comes nearly a year after the 184-hospital health system started working with medical documentation company Augmedix to pilot its ambient scribe technology at a handful of ER departments within the HCA network.
