Summary
Reid Health's Chief Information Officer underscored the necessity of choosing the appropriate AI platform for clinical documentation to reduce administrative tasks that lead to clinician burnout. The organization identified documentation demands as a factor compromising clinician well-being and patient care. A systematic approach was adopted to recognize specific issues, such as after-hours work and interruptions during patient interactions. By understanding the capabilities of ambient AI, which aims to support clinicians rather than replace them, the organization sought to enhance patient engagement. Reid Health evaluated potential technologies based on usability, workflow integration, accuracy, and vendor support. A pilot program using the Abridge platform resulted in an 86% decrease in note-taking time and reduced after-hours documentation, with positive feedback from clinicians highlighting their improved satisfaction and relief.
