St. John's Health doctors using AI scribe for efficiency
JACKSON — Health care has come a long way in the nearly three decades that Jim Little Jr. has been treating patients. As a family medicine doctor at St. John’s Health, he is now getting help from artificial intelligence to make his workflow more efficient. Little is among the providers at St. John’s turning to a digital scribe to cut the time they spend taking notes. Oracle Health’s Clinical AI Agent listens in on visits between providers and patients who opt in. The software takes note of relevant medical information and filters out other commentary, compiling the visit into a note that providers can review and edit afterward. Filling out electronic medical records takes time. Providers often take the work home, Little said, which decreases time with family. “If you look at health care over the last 25 years, the electronic medical record has really turned doctors into keyboard jockeys,” Little said. Instead of using cognitive skills developed in medical school and in clinics, doctors are spending “an awful lot of time typing notes,” Little said, which is a leading contributor to burnout. The Clinical AI Agent saves Little hours, allowing him more face time with patients. Finalizing notes used

Gateway Transitional Care Center holds groundbreaking for building remodel
POCATELLO — Gateway Transitional Care Center recently broke ground on its new outpatient therapy clinic that will provide them with more space to care for senior citizens and others. Gavin Monteath, CEO of Gateway Transitional Care Center, said this project will remodel two of the basement floors. The space used to be part of the old hospital. "The bottom floor used to be the psychiatric wing of the old Bannock County Hospital," Monteath said. The new space will contain a vent/trach unit, which means it will specialize in long-term respiratory support. There will be fourteen beds within the unit. "It has the capability to take patients that need help with mechanical breathing," Monteath said. "There's a big need in this community. There's not another unit like this between Salt Lake and Boise." There are several people from Pocatello who are in need of the kind of treatment this facility will provide who had to be transported somewhere else to receive the care they need. "There's a 30-year-old male that's been in a car accident," Monteath said. "His family is from Pocatello. His wife has already reached out to me asking if we can have a bed for him to be
