Summary
In this episode of The Good GP, Dr Tim Koh is joined by Kai van Lieshout, CEO and co-Founder of Lyrebird Health, to discuss the current and future role of AI tools in Australian general practice. Describing the uptake of AI transcription tools, with about a quarter of GPs using scribe tools daily and more having trialled them. Kai explains that recent improvements mean these tools now offer better accuracy, easier customisation, and can handle a wider range of documentation tasks, such as care plans and referral letters. They discuss Lyrebird’s integration with Best Practice clinical software, which makes AI scribing freely available and fully integrated for all users, improving both accessibility and safety. Covering how AI scribes may enhance the quality of patient interactions and relieve some of the documentation burden for GPs. Looking at the importance of locally tailored AI solutions, continuous feedback, and transparency to ensure safety and effectiveness. Both guests view the potential for these tools to benefit not just doctors but practice staff across general practice, with ongoing, incremental improvements anticipated in the years to come.
