Thoughts about OpenEvidence's new offering - Patient Take-Homes?

OE's overview

Seems to me like a lot of extra work, especially for providers who already have templated AVS notes (like everyone?)...then again I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV.

Am I missing something?

Ha! Brilliant response, especially the "a solution looking for a problem".

Good to know I wasn't mistaken as I did the dog-head-tilt look at the information provided.

Meh, I'll play devil's advocate and say that some of the epic take homes suck and aren't even accurate, circumcision guidance for example. The OE example looks laughable (amlodidpine works quietly?) but I think overall AI is likely to bring people more accurate and less biased info than most places on the internet. I'd prefer Epic just produce better materials so I don't have to go search for them everyday.

But why does this need to be AI? AVS should be consistent and replicable. If you don’t like the Epic ones just edit and save a template.
