AI embedded in the EHR helps prevent adverse medication interactions
Artificial intelligence has stepped in to help complete the medication information in the medical record for patients who can't remember what drugs they are taking, let alone the dose. This is most of us, according to Rebecca Sulfridge, a clinical pharmacist and emergency specialist at Covenant HealthCare in Michigan. Most patients have gaps in their medication history. Technicians hear, "'I take three pills. One is a little white one. One is a pink one,'" or "'I know I take two blood pressure meds and one to sleep at night,'" in face-to-face talks with patients, according to Sulfridge.
