Abstract

PURPOSE: Increased workload associated with electronic visits (eVisits) in primary care could potentially be decreased by the use of artificial intelligence (AI); however, it is unknown whether this use of AI would be acceptable to staff and patients. We explored patient and primary care staff views on the use of and opportunities for AI during eVisits.
