AI is ubiquitous in all sectors. But, as Chief Physician Experience Officer Amit Phull, MD, says, “AI is not just a buzzword in healthcare—it's a potential game changer for physicians seeking to increase their administrative efficiency and make more time for things like patient care and, frankly (paradoxically), just feeling a little more human.”
As a platform built specifically for medicine, Doximity’s approach to developing AI tools has been clinically mindful and practical. Unfortunately, overwork and burnout in the medical community are all too common, and administrative burden is a large culprit. When asked how burnout and overwork could be alleviated, 75% of physicians Doximity surveyed said reducing administrative burden. This response was even more prevalent than increasing physician compensation or reducing patient caseloads. HIPAA-compliant generative AI tools that are tailored to medicine like Doximity GPT can save physicians time by streamlining onerous administrative tasks that consume precious time.
Over 1.5 million letter tasks have been completed for clinicians on Doximity GPT. In fact, one physician noted in The New York Times that Doximity GPT halved the time he spent on prior authorization letters (and made his letters more successful). It’s this real-life impact that drives the development of AI tools at Doximity.
Let’s dive into what makes Doximity GPT different:
At its core, Doximity is a tool for physicians to save time. Doximity GPT is also free and accessible to all U.S. clinician members and medical students.
Doximity GPT is HIPAA-compliant, meaning clinician users can feel safe including PHI in Doximity GPT prompts.
Doximity GPT saves clinicians time by generating useful outputs that are easy to copy and paste into EHRs. It also integrates with Dialer text and Dialer fax, making it simple for clinicians to add outputs to patient charts, send HIPAA-secure messages to colleagues, and communicate with insurance providers.
Doximity GPT features a list of community-driven prompts, tailored by specialty, so users can benefit directly from their colleagues’ feedback and use cases. The library includes prompts on patient education, insurance correspondence, charting, and more.
These features make Doximity GPT a tool that physicians love to use. Ashley Albright, a practicing neurosurgical PA shared: “Doximity GPT responses are quick, easy to understand, and efficient enough to talk to patients, especially those who may have more difficult time understanding.” Explore other features physicians love on Doximity here.
