AI vs. doctor: can a computer write safer hospital summaries?
NCT ID NCT07491068
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a large language model (a type of AI) to help write hospital discharge summaries is as safe as the usual method where doctors write them entirely. About 786 hospital discharges will be randomly assigned to either AI-assisted or standard documentation. The main goal is to see if AI-assisted summaries are just as safe and complete, with the aim of reducing the time doctors spend on paperwork.
