Formerly eHealth Centre of Excellence, learn about the new brand
The volume of inbox items in primary care continues to grow: clinical notes, lab results, patient messages, and referral updates all require attention.
Clinicians are expected to review and respond to a constant stream of messages, documents, and updates – all while balancing patient visits, follow-up care, and other responsibilities. Without support, this can lead to clinician fatigue and delays in care.
AI Inbox Management solutions are designed to reduce this burden by helping clinicians’ triage, prioritize, and manage incoming communications more efficiently and effectively.
These tools uses artificial intelligence to support the review and handling of clinical inbox items.
They can analyze, sort, and route messages, documents, and patient inquiries, helping to streamline communication workflows.
A recent scan conducted by our Knowledge Translation and Evaluation team (December 2024) found that while AI Inbox Management is still an emerging area in Canada. Solutions vary per EMR – connect with us for more details, or sign up for our AI Amplified newsletter below for updates!
