Summary
Dr. CT Lin of UCHealth is using an AI note-taking tool, Abridge, to improve patient interactions during consultations by capturing visit details without requiring doctors to divert their attention to note-taking. The secure tool compiles transcriptions, which are stored in the medical record system, enhancing the quality of care through detailed after-visit summaries for patients. Initially piloted in 2025 with a limited group, Abridge has gained wider adoption among nearly one-third of UCHealth's providers, showcasing its effectiveness in increasing focus on patient care while minimizing the documentation burden. This development highlights the potential of AI technologies to transform healthcare environments by improving provider-patient engagement and ensuring comprehensive care records.
