Integration of AI-generated clinic letters in complex paediatric neurosurgery outpatient settings.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Dictation of outpatient clinic letters can result in increased workload for clinicians. The use of generative, natural language processing artificial intelligence (AI) software could be used to supplant dictation and typing, alleviating the clinician's workload. Therefore, our objective was to validate the use of AI software, Lyrebird AI (Lyrebird Health, Ltd.) to create accurate and readable clinic letters, in the context of a single clinician general paediatric neurosurgery clinic and a multi-disciplinary craniofacial clinic.

Methods

Twenty consultations were included, wherein a microphone was used to record the entire consultation. For each consultation, two letters were generated independently: (1) Lyrebird AI letter automatically generated at the end of the reco
