An Overview of Artificial Intelligence in Primary Care and Administrative Medicine

This article provides an overview of the current use of artificial intelligence (AI) in primary care and administrative medicine. It is divided into 2 main sections. In the first, we explore AI's use in screening, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment-what is already in use and what can be expected in the near future. In the second, we discuss AI's impact on medical administrative tasks and on the broader health care system-patient scheduling, progress notes, prior authorization, patient education, billing, fraud detection, remote health care delivery, and resource allocation and optimization.
