You've learned how AI accesses current information through medical databases. But that's just one example of AI using "tools."
Modern healthcare AI can do much more than generate clinical notes - it can actually perform actions and use other medical software to help you.

What clinical tasks beyond documentation would you want AI to help you with?
Think of AI tools like a digital medical toolkit. Each tool gives AI a new capability - calculating drug dosages, accessing lab results, or even analyzing medical images.
Without tools, AI is limited to what it learned during training. With tools, it becomes an active clinical decision-support system.

Can you imagine AI helping with dosage calculations or patient data analysis?
Here's how it works: When AI realizes it needs to perform a specific task (like dose calculation), it calls the right tool.
The tool does the work, sends results back to AI, and then AI uses those results in its response to you.
It's like having a clinical assistant who can instantly access any medical system you need!

Have you ever needed to switch between multiple systems to complete one patient case?
Popular healthcare AI tools include clinical calculators for precise dosing, medical databases for drug interactions, and lab interfaces for recent results.
There are also tools for accessing imaging systems, checking formularies, and even integrating with electronic health records through APIs.

Which of these tool categories would be most valuable for your clinical practice?
The clinical impact is huge. Instead of you manually switching between AI, EHR systems, and medical references, AI can coordinate all these tools automatically.
This means faster clinical decisions, fewer medication errors, and the ability to tackle complex multi-step diagnoses in one conversation.
