AI-Powered Chart Review in EHRs
Unlocking Efficiency & Accuracy in Clinical Workflows
This study evaluates the quality of artificial intelligence (AI) clinical note summarization by analyzing physician qualitative feedback on a large language model (LLM) chart review tool integrated into the electronic health record (EHR). Discover the findings and how AI is shaping the future of healthcare documentation.
Executive Impact & Key Findings
Physicians provided free-text feedback on AI-generated chart summaries, revealing both significant benefits and crucial areas for improvement. This analysis highlights AI's potential to streamline clinical workflows while underscoring the importance of careful validation.

The study found that physicians generally found the AI-assisted chart review tool acceptable for use in clinical workflows. Positive feedback was the predominant finding, indicating a readiness among clinicians to integrate AI solutions into their daily practice for improved efficiency.
Despite overall positive impressions, inaccuracies were commonly reported. Omissions (n=46) and confusing content (n=20) were more frequent concerns than hallucinations (n=5) or bias (n=1). This highlights a critical need for AI tools to ensure completeness and clarity.
Token limitations (n=27) were a significant issue, restricting the number of notes that could be summarized. This often led to incomplete summaries, even when relevant information was available in the source notes. Addressing these technical constraints is crucial for broader adoption.

Case of Aortic Stenosis Mischaracterization
One clinically meaningful example of hallucination that could impact patient safety occurred when the AI-generated summary substituted 'severe' for 'moderate' in characterizing a patient's aortic stenosis. This substitution in disease severity highlights a potential risk that AI summarization of clinical notes could influence a physician toward inappropriate medical management. In the technology's current state, the physician is responsible for verifying that the summary contains accurate information and would be liable for acting on erroneous information. This emphasizes the need for robust verification workflows.
