NYSVMS Webinar Panel: How the latest AI apps dramatically improve your efficiency

Tuesday, December 10, 2024
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (EST)

Event Details

You can save a great deal of time by using the latest generation of Artificial Intelligence powered tools.  

Join this webinar to hear from your colleagues who are reaping the benefits, and get practical tips about how to use them successfully. 

Dr. Gittelman, Dr Wylegala, and Dr. Massaro will show you how the latest generation of AI tools dramatically reduce the time it takes to maintain medical records compared to writing them yourself. These aren’t the dictation tools we featured last year. Now you can just record everything in the room on your phone and the AI will create a formatted SOAP together with other relevant notes and even a record of how you complied with Buoy’s law. Members are reporting that they are using these tools with great success.  

Learning Points 

  •     Identify the benefits of AI assisted record-keeping vs. Dictation software 
  •     Know what to look for in an AI record-keeping app, and what to expect in integration 
  •     How to use AI record-keeping to efficiently comply with Buoy’s law
