Problem the AI is intended to solve

Administrative tasks, manual documentation, and complex workflows within the Electronic Health Record (EHR) cause lower clinical efficiency and operational effectiveness.

Expected benefits

By implementing Clinical Al Agent (CAA), VA providers will leverage new technology to decrease time completing documentation and administrative tasks during a Veteran visit. This leads to increased end user satisfaction, reduced provider burnout, and ensures providers are spending time prioritizing Veteran care.

System outputs

This agent will generate draft clinical notes based on the clinician-patient conversations. The generated notes can be reviewed, modified, and signed in both CAA and the Message Center. Clinical Al Agent is intended to streamline administrative tasks, reduce costs, and enhance patient care through close integration with the electronic health record (EHR).
