As physicians in practice become more and more burdened by administrative work, they’re finding that those burdens are impacting their sense of their effectiveness in patient care delivery. As a result, many medical group leaders are seizing the opportunity to implement artificial intelligence tools that their physicians can use. For example, AI can be leveraged to compile the most relevant patient data into a concise clinical summary before each patient visit. This enables doctors to review all of a patient’s information in one place, saving 9 minutes per patient on chart reviews and helping to reduce burnout by 23 percent, according to an independent study by the American Academy of Family Physicians, and identify 500K conditions previously never documented.
One physician group that has taken the plunge is the Jefferson City Medical Group, a multispecialty medical group in Missouri’s state capital, with 70 physicians practicing across 30 medical specialties, and whose doctors see more than 80,000 patients per year. What’s more, the imperative to lift administrative burdens off its physicians is even more pronounced at Jefferson City Medical Group, as JCMG is one of nine organizations participating in the seven-state Stratum Med ACO, one of the largest accountable care organizations participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program.
