How Artificial Intelligence Is Helping Doctors Focus on You

Technology is changing healthcare—but at SIH, the focus remains on people.

At a recent Workforce Summit hosted by John A. Logan College, family physician Dr. Mark Korte explained how artificial intelligence (AI) is quietly making visits more personal.

Instead of typing during your appointment, many SIH clinicians now use a secure AI tool that listens, transcribes and summarizes the medical conversation. That means your provider can spend more time listening, asking questions and explaining next steps.

“AI is a tool, not a decision-maker,” Dr. Korte said. “It helps us capture accurate information while keeping our attention where it belongs - on you.”

The technology also reduces physician burnout and paperwork, helping providers get home earlier to their families. SIH continues to explore future uses that improve safety and efficiency—such as summarizing complex medical histories or reminding doctors about follow-up tests.

Human connection remains the heart of care. Artificial intelligence simply helps bring that connection back into focus.
