Major EHR vendors are moving deeper into AI-driven clinical workflow tools, with new releases aimed at reducing documentation burden and automating tasks during patient visits.
On Feb. 2, Oracle Health expanded its Clinical AI Agent to help clinicians automate the creation of clinical orders during patient appointments. The tool now supports automated order creation for laboratory tests, imaging and diagnostic studies, new and refilled prescription medications, follow-up appointments and referrals.
On Feb. 4, Epic released AI Charting, a tool that listens during patient visits and drafts clinicians’ notes and suggested orders in real time. The tool is part of Art, Epic’s AI suite for clinicians.
Epic said the initial release allows clinicians to personalize the structure of both current and future notes using voice commands.
The updates reflect a broader shift among EHR vendors to embed AI directly into clinical workflows, moving beyond documentation support to real-time automation of administrative and clinical tasks. Vendors have increasingly positioned these tools as a way to reduce the time clinicians spend on after-visit documentation and order entry.
