The VA is starting to use an AI to help handle medical paperwork from outside doctors (community care). Instead of staff manually going through millions of faxes and documents, the AI helps sort and organize them so things move faster. The argument for it is that it is needed because the VA receives a large amount of paperwork from outside providers. Things can sit in piles for weeks or even months. Staff are often overloaded, which slows everything down.
The idea is that if AI helps sort the paperwork faster, veterans can get care faster.
They also say it does not replace doctors or the VA staff. It only helps with the paperwork side of the process.
Should the VA use AI to speed up medical paperwork if it could improve wait times, but also risks errors in veterans’ records?
