There’s no shortage of data in healthcare. But usable, context-rich insight? That’s a different story.
For most care teams, prepping for a visit still means parsing clinical PDFs, clicking through timelines, or, let’s be honest, grabbing a legal pad to jot down what really matters.
But what happens when AI can do all that for you?
That’s exactly what we explored in a recent webinar with Homeward Health. The team walked through how they’re using Zus’ Generated Patient Summary (GPS) to turn fragmented data into fast, readable context. Helping clinicians prep in less than half the time, with more confidence and less guesswork.
“It replaced the legal pad.”
Let’s start with the moment that stuck with everyone. The legal pad line from Homeward’s Jeff (PA, Clinical Ops). He shared how GPS summaries became his go-to before a visit, replacing the need to manually scribble a patient’s story.
In his words, “I would spend 20–30 minutes prepping… now I can just read the GPS summary and I’m ready to go.”
It wasn’t just about speed, it was about confidence. His takeaway? AI isn’t replacing clinicians. It’s replacing the grunt work that keeps them from being fully present with patients.
Zus’ Generated Patient Summary uses structured and unstructured data to create a narrative view of a patient’s history—including encounters, diagnoses, labs, meds, and relevant events—distilled into a one-page, natural language summary.
It’s like a smart, AI-powered medical scribe that never misses the big picture.
But the real differentiator? Every summarized point links directly back to the source of data. That means clinicians can click through to see the full record behind the insight—so nothing’s hidden, and trust is built in.
Early adopters like Homeward use GPS to accelerate visit prep, surface key details, and validate insights quickly—all without toggling across tools or systems.
And because it’s tied into the Zus Health Data Platform, GPS is built on the cleanest longitudinal patient record—across organizations, payers, and networks.
See it in Action
In the webinar, Adrianna (Zus Product) walked through the interface, showing how a GPS summary loads directly in the Homeward workflow. No extra login, no bouncing between tools. Just usable insight, in context.
A Smarter Way to Scale Care
Generated summaries aren’t just a nice-to-have anymore. As healthcare organizations face staffing shortages, burnout, and rising patient expectations, AI tools that reduce prep time and elevate care context are quickly becoming table stakes.
And the future of GPS? It’s customizable. We’re continuing to evolve the feature with flexible summary formats and deeper workflow integrations—so care teams can tailor the length, depth, and style of each summary to fit how they work.
