Artificial intelligence in healthcare is already transforming how doctors practice medicine. AI is now embedded inside medical offices, outpatient clinics, and electronic health record systems across the healthcare industry.

In Episode 2 of AI and the Medical Industry, Tony Hernandez explains how physicians are using artificial intelligence in clinical practice today, with a focus on AI integration with electronic health records, AI medical scribes, ambient clinical documentation, clinical decision support systems, and physician workflow optimization.

This episode explores how healthcare AI systems securely access and analyze EHR data through modern integrations such as APIs and FHIR-based interfaces, enabling real-time documentation, clinical decision support, medication management, and care coordination.

Listeners will learn how artificial intelligence supports pre-visit planning, patient encounters, and post-visit follow-up without replacing physician judgment or clinical responsibility.

Designed for physicians, healthcare administrators, medical professionals, and healthcare IT leaders, this episode also addresses healthcare AI governance topics including HIPAA compliance, data privacy, regulatory oversight, accountability, and clinical safety.

This educational episode focuses on real-world, production-level healthcare AI applications currently used in medical offices and outpatient care settings.
