Summary
Baptist Health is undertaking a pilot project utilizing AI-powered nursing documentation to alleviate nursing burnout and enhance patient care by increasing the time nurses can spend with patients. Leaders from the organization highlighted the burdens of traditional documentation practices and how ambient listening technology, developed with Microsoft and Nuance, could streamline these processes by capturing notes in real-time during patient interactions. As the pilot progresses, the team aims to refine the technology to integrate more seamlessly into nursing workflows, addressing initial challenges encountered during the implementation of speech-to-text documentation.
