AI-generated HPI drafts in the ED: comparing to physician-written history

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence-generated History of Present Illness Drafts in the Emergency Department

Run by Yonsei University · NCT07804407 · Data updated 2026-11-12

In the emergency department, researchers test whether an on-site AI tool can draft a history of present illness that is higher quality than the doctor’s usual note.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (19 years or older) presenting to the Yonsei University Severance Hospital ED who are able to consent and have an EDnote-documented initial encounter.

Probably not a fit

Patients with communication barriers or those whose data quality is limited by real-time transcription may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies

This single-center, prospective observational study looks at an on-premise large language model tool (EDnote) that creates a draft history of present illness from real-time transcripts. The treating physician composes the conventional HPI without seeing the AI draft, and both are compared by blinded emergency physicians. Quality of documentation is assessed to see if the AI draft improves the completeness and clarity of the HPI. Eligible participants are adults presenting to Yonsei University Severance Hospital ED, with consent obtained, excluding those unable to communicate or who are in cardiac arrest. The study aims to understand whether AI assistance can enhance ED documentation without altering physician judgment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients could receive more accurate and comprehensive ED documentation, potentially improving care coordination and outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work in AI-assisted clinical documentation has shown mixed results; this study adds prospective, blinded comparison in an ED setting.
