HOW CAN CHATGPT BE USED FOR IN HEALTHCARE
Gary, here’s the straight talk—no fluff, no bedtime stories.
ChatGPT in healthcare is not a toy. It’s a force multiplier. Used well, it compresses time, lowers cognitive load, and turns chaos into something vaguely resembling order. Used poorly, it’s just another shiny object. Let’s be precise.
What ChatGPT actually delivers in healthcare
1. Clinical cognition support (not decision-making)
Let’s be crystal clear: ChatGPT does not replace clinical judgment. It augments it.
High-value use cases
Differential diagnosis brainstorming (especially edge cases)
Pattern recognition across symptoms, labs, and timelines
“What am I missing?” cognitive forcing functions
Translating specialty jargon across silos (ED ↔ ICU ↔ Primary Care)
Opinion:
If you’re not using an LLM as a second brain during complex cases, you’re leaving performance on the table.
2. Documentation & admin annihilation
This is where the ROI is obscene.
What it’s good at
Drafting SOAP notes, discharge summaries, referral letters
Prior auth justifications (yes, the bureaucratic Hunger Games)
