ChatGPT can now connect to electronic health records
OpenAI says healthcare organizations can link EHR systems and other industry data sources to ChatGPT for clinician use.
OpenAI has announced that healthcare organizations can connect electronic health record (EHR) systems and additional industry data sources to ChatGPT. According to the company, the aim is to let clinicians securely reach patient context, medical research and related material.
OpenAI frames this as connecting ChatGPT to "trusted healthcare data". In practice, that means the assistant can draw on records held by the organization itself, instead of the clinician switching to a separate system to look up a patient history manually.
The announcement page covers the technical side of the integration, which record systems are supported and where access is available. The summary we have does not include those specifics, so anyone planning a deployment should read the original notice for setup requirements and data handling.
Health data sits among the most valuable and most tightly regulated categories for AI companies. Opening patient records to a language model raises questions about who can access what, and where the data is stored.
