Ep157: AI models for discharge letters and clinical coding
In part 1 of this series we talked about the efficiency gains from use of ambient scribes observed in some hospital settings. In this episode we discuss other opportunities that arise from granting large language models access to all the notes and test results in the patient record.

Ep156: AI scribes in hospital
The burden of clinical documentation is one of the top reasons given for job dissatisfaction in medicine. Physicians typically give up an hour of personal time per shift to complete paperwork and the frustration is experienced by patients too, who sometimes feel that their doctors are more focused on the computer.

Ep154: Delabelling penicillin allergy FAST
Allergies to first-line antibiotics complicate care, and use of broad-spectrum alternatives is associated with prolonged hospital stays and increased rates of admissions to ICU. It also makes emergence of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens more likely. Ten to 16% of adult patients are marked in the record as being allergic to penicillins but the majority of these labels are applied inaccurately or have become outdated over time. While skin-prick testing is a safe and reliable way to del...

REWIND<< Medical fitness to drive
This popular episode was first published in 2019. Australia and NZ are made up of sprawling cities and far-flung towns and driving is often viewed as a fundamental freedom. It can be hard for clinicians to challenge that freedom with patients who they consider unfit to drive safely. And harder still to deal with the consequences if a patient does have a crash. There are diagnoses that should raise red flags for driving fitness in various specialty areas, and a clinician can be drawn in...
