How Kaiser Permanente is using gen AI to ‘paradoxically’ make care more human again


Kaiser Permanente is using advanced alert monitoring, scribe technology and other tools to improve patient and provider experiences.

To help slow down that hamster wheel, Kaiser Permanente’s scribe technology generates a first draft of a clinical note based on a recording of a patient encounter that they consent to upon visiting the office, which the doctor can later review. Yang pointed out that when people hear the words “governance” and “guardrails,” their initial reaction is “bureaucracy, red tape, molasses, you’re gonna slow everything down.”
