AI tool that speeds up patient discharges trialled by NHS

The NHS is trialing an AI tool that aims to streamline the patient discharge process. The pilot program is being conducted at a London hospital trust, with the goal of reducing paperwork and freeing up doctors' time. The AI-powered platform is designed to complete the necessary documents required to send home patients who are fit for discharge. This could potentially save hours of delays and make hospital beds available more quickly. The initiative is part of the UK's efforts to bring AI technology to its public services, in an attempt to improve efficiency and free up resources. If successful, the AI tool could be rolled out to other NHS trusts, potentially benefiting patients and healthcare providers alike.
