How Meditech Plans to Integrate Google’s Generative AI Into Its EHR

Meditech, a prominent player in the healthcare technology sector, is actively exploring the integration of generative AI into its software solutions. This initiative is part of a deeper collaboration with Google Cloud, a partnership that has thrived over the past five years. Meditech's approach to incorporating generative AI into its Electronic Health Records (EHR) is deliberate and methodical. One notable project involves leveraging Google's large language models (LLMs) to enhance the search and summarization capabilities within their EHR system. By employing Google's LLMs for data harmonization, Meditech aims to provide clinicians with rapid access to comprehensive patient information. This includes data from the Meditech Expanse EHR, legacy technology platforms, scanned handwritten notes, and medical images, ensuring a longitudinal view of patient health. Additionally, Meditech is exploring the integration of Google's Med-PaLM 2, a medical AI system harnessing LLMs, into its EHR's search and summarization functionalities.
